Question 1

my stomick keeps burning keep fill like thowing up heartburn relly bad nothing will help took nexim don't work took over-the-counter meds please help?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms that bad: Symptoms that bad warrant an evaluation. If standard over the counter medications are not controlling the condition, then there may be a need for further understanding the cause and perhaps a prescription treatment. Vomiting is your body's way of trying to get rid of something in your stomach -- so it sounds like something more than simple acid reflux. Worth getting an exam in my opinion.

Question 4

any over-the-counter help for someone with chemical burn?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Chemical burns vary from caustics like lye, to acid and even more erosive chemicals.  Immediate action should be to flush off the agent causing the burn.  If the skin is red and not opened, then you can treat it with cool soaks and keeping it clean.  If the skin outer layer is burnt off and the pain is significant, you should go to an emergency room or at least contact a poison control center.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: It is difficult to advise you because you don’t say where your burning sensation and itchiness is located. So, you should see your doctor and get this evaluated to see if something other than an over the counter medicine would be helpful. Best of luck to you!

Question 6

what to use over-the-counter for a second degree burn?

Accepted Answer

Vaseline: Or Aquaphor. Bioclusive membrane is excellent. Keep lubricated. Water is good for it. Avoid peroxide, alcohol, iodine, bacitracin, neosporin.

Question 7

what is an over-the-counter antiseptic cream for a chemical burn?

Accepted Answer

Chemical burn: For healing, the antiseptic cream is not the most important element. More important are thorough initial rinsing and cleansing of the wound; then application of a dressing like vaseline gauze covered by sterile gauzes, and then a thick wrap (like ace or coban) to protect from ordinary dirt will produce good healing. If you want to use an antibacterial, i would use Bacitracin (fewer allergies).

Question 8

what is the best over-the-counter weight loss and fat burning pill without caffiene?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss is best: Achieved by changing eating habits to decrease caloric intake & by exercise to burn calories. Diet pills usually contain caffeine &/or guarana (another stimulant). Reduce size of portions; avoid high glycemic carbs, lean proteins, good fats, whole grains, low-fat dairy. Try 4-6 mini-meals a day rather than 3 large ones. Try to exercise 30 minutes a day (walking, water exercise both good).

only way to loose weight is eating less and properly and exercising.
