Question 3

my 10 yr old son started complaining of having epigastric pain while eating.whats a good remedy to relieve the pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain with eating: 10 year olds don't often complain of pain with eating, which they usually love to do. Ask some questions:  is it just once or regularly? Does the child have any history of constipation? Does anyone in the family have irritable bowel syndrome; kids can get it to and have pain and bloating with meals, relieved by a bowel movement. Generally safe & helpful treatments include antacids or alka seltzer.

Question 4

are there any home remedy's for pain relieving with strep throat?  it hurts to swallow and i can't eat, but my mom won't but me any medicine for it.

Accepted Answer

Sore throat: Firstly, you used the term strep throat.  Was this diagnosed by a throat swab performed by a medical professional.  If so, then antibiotics are required.  But, most sore throat are viral.  

Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen may help with pain.  At home remedies include warm liquids to drink and warm salt water gargles.

Question 5

i've been having sholder pains. what are some remedies to relieve the pain?

Accepted Answer

Rest and motion: Try to figure out what activities cause the pain and try to avoid those for now.  A trial of nsaids (ibuprofen/naproxen) will help decrease inflammation.  I would encourage you to keep trying to move your shoulder to avoid a frozen shoulder which can be very painful. Ice will help with some inflammation and it has a temporary numbing effect.  A steroid injection is also a possibility in the future.

Question 6

i work on my computer more than 8 hours a day. shoulder and neck gets uncomfortable. how remedies to relieve my pain at home?

Accepted Answer

Breaks & Massage: Pain is likely from muscle spasm that can be avoided by taking breaks and relieved by heat and massage. Take a hot shower and massage the painful muscles.

If this does not help or if the pain is severe enough to keep you up at night you should get it checked out.

Question 7

am obese and now i have sharp pain in sole of my left feet. is it because of weight. please suggest few remedies to relieve the pain?

Accepted Answer

It's mechanical...: Think of it this way. People with body types ranging from string beans to obese, and everything in between, can all have the same foot problems. To complicate things this same range of people may not ever have foot problems. Foot problems, like yours, seem to be a matter of foot function, or lack of it, more than any other factor. It is best to see a specialist for a proper evaluation and remedy.
