Question 2

Accepted Answer

Just wait: Most two year old are still teething.  Most normally have full set of primary teeth by age 2 1/2.  However, it is just an average range.  There is no normal.  At least he has eight teeth of twenty.  You should not be worried, most likely his teeth will erupt on their own time table.  Sometimes there can be a fever or even a runny nose when teething.  It will pass or talk to pediatrician.

Go to doctor: With a fever and other symptoms she needs to be seen by a physician. Go to a 24 hour clinic or your own physician.

Question 4

should we see make a special visit to the dentist about our six year old's teeth grinding? bruxism runs in our family, but i've also heard that if a child is this young, then teeth grinding might not be a huge concern.

Accepted Answer

You : You have read correctly that grinding in children is not something to be overly worried about. Appliances for bruxism are not usually made for children, so let's hope he slowly grows out of the habit.

As an adult when his secondary teeth come in, if he is still grinding then a bruxism appliance would be in order.

Hope this info helps.

i am a 56 yr old male.  i was prescribed alprazolam for my panic attacks many years ago.  due to lack of insurance, now sympotami horrible sleep, sweating, pacing, teeth grinding, losing close relationships i need help find a doc or tx. center in my area

Accepted Answer

Coming : Coming off benzodiazepines is dangerous because withdrawal can include unstable vital signs and seizures.  You need to be seen and assessed.  Depending on how long you have been off of the alprazolam, you may be done with the withdrawal.  If so, there are other safer medications for panic attacks that are nonaddictive so you won't go through this again.  Please be seen medically so that you can safely taper the Alprazolam and then hopefully switch to a non-addictive medication.  There are free mental health clinics that can help you as well.

Question 10

He is likely correct: Those symptoms are consistent with a viral infection that is not uncommon in small children and is usually caused by a virus in the herpes family.  ( not an std ).

Biggest concern is maintaining hydration and may need to use a special rinse to provide pain relief to allow drinking. Can last days to a week.
