Question 1

death likely from congestive heart failure; gurgling when breathing, then loss of consciousness/foam coming from nose/mouth. could cpr have helped?

Accepted Answer

No: A person in decompensated heart failure needs more than cpr.

Question 2

how can you save someone from death by mouth to mouth resuscitation in the countryside?

Accepted Answer

CPR: Call 911. You already know how to. Mouth to mouth resuscitation is the start of cpr. Alternate that with chest compressions.

Question 3

i'm scared to death to get stomach endoscopy done. suffer from major panic disorder. not on meds. scared of something entering mouth. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Endoscopy fear: Consider getting some clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis training.  See www.asch.net for a list of licensed professionals who utilize this modality.  Peace and good health.  Sorry for your fear and wish you well.

Question 4

i can't stop chewing the inside of my mouth and i have peridontal disease is this dangerous with heart disease  the cause if my dads death?

Accepted Answer

Multiple issues: First if your dad died of a heart attack  at a young. Age then your at risk regardless of your gums. You need to make  sure you follow up for regular physicals with complete labs. Follow a healthy life syle and exercise regularly. Your teeth and gums should be evaluated by your dentist. There has been an association with CAD and gingivitis   so getting this taken care is a good idea.

Question 5

my daughter is 5 hasn't been to dentist scared to death won't even let her doctor look in mouth what can i do to sooth her mind?

Accepted Answer

5 year old : Your 5 year old daughter who will not allow your dentist  look in her mouth sounds fearful and uncomfortable. Some suggestions include: making several brief desensitizing visits to the dentist's office to pick out prizes as an example, read age appropriate books about dental visits, visit pediatric dental offices which are usually outfitted with kid friendly decor.

Question 6

i have holes on both sides of the back of my mouth throat near the tonsils... i get food stuck in the holes. can i bleed to death from these? i wonder

Accepted Answer

Cryptic Tonsils: The holes are really crypts and they can periodically fill up with food and other debris.  This can cause bad breath and inflammation.  The only definitive treatment is excision of tonsils.  You will not bleed to death from these.  The extensive blood supply is much deeper to theses.

Question 7

my inner mouth is whitish pink, there isn't any white patches it just looks whitish pink with really small white lines around what is this ~ ?

Accepted Answer

Without a picture: my first thought would be possible lichen planus. While the specific cause of this condition is not known, it may be immune related and affected by stress. Medications may contribute. The pale mucosa (lining of oral cavity) is common.  Usually there are no symptoms and no specific treatment is required. If it persists, have your dentist check it for you. Don't smoke!  Stay well:)

Question 8

why is my 21 mo old son foaming at mouth, coughing, and congested?

Accepted Answer

See your physician: It is common for 21 month old children to get viral upper respiratory illnesses which cause coughing and congestion. But no child during this process should be "foaming" at the mouth. That may indicate possible oropharyngeal swelling (throat) and difficulty swallowing. Please see your pediatrician immediately.

Question 9

while my friends sleeps he foams at the mouth and freezes. could this be nocturnal epilepsy?

Accepted Answer

Does not sound norma: That is certainly a possiblity and there are other "parasomnias" that can cause this behavior.  This is easily clarified with a sleep study which a primary care doctor can arrange.  During a sleep study brain waves and patterns are measured and epileptic behavior would likely be detected.  It would also be noteworthy to keep a log before any appointment as to how he feels after sleeping like that.

Question 10

waking up choking waking up choking and mouth filled with foam

Accepted Answer

Without : Without more details, it's hard to know exactly what you're referring to, but I have heard this complaint many times from patients who have acid reflux disease.  It's more common when you're asleep (your stomach and throat are on the same level).  Other risk factors = obesity, smoking/drinking etoh/caffeine, eating foods like tomatoes, onions, citrus, chocolate, mint, spicy foods, carbonated beverages or large meals, and finally, eating within 3 hours of going to bed. Symptoms include heartburn (obviously), throat clearing, cough, hoarseness, and sore throat.
