Accepted Answer

Paint odor: Stay out of your home for at least 24 hours,  and longer if there is still a strong paint smell. Keep windows open and observe the baby for cough, difficulty breathing. A virtual consultation is available for the baby.  Your four month old is due for immunizations and a review of his growth and development.

Question 2

mokgadi  sarah maponya. i have an asthma difficulty to breath, wheezing?

Accepted Answer

Asthma : You should see a doctor as soon as possible. This can be an emergency requiring a visit to the emergency room. Difficulties in-breath is a serious complaint, but some people report it from having nasal congestion, pain in the chest with breathing, general fatigue, or wheezing. It is very concerning when the person has difficulties breathing which prevents someone from moving.

Question 3

recently eyes got cloudy by use of herbal e/d for 3 days (comp. lemon, ginger, onion, honey and benjamin chloride)i quit  the drop. will it be clear ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes.  But it will be wise not to use any non-fda approved medicine.  You never know the safety of these "remedies".

Question 4

sarah : i have been suffering with dandruff for more than 3 years now, it typically started when i got rid of all the lice in my head and over the years its just getting worse and worse , doctor scared me and said it will never go away?

Accepted Answer

: Dandruff is the result of skin cells of the scalp failing to shed naturally when skin oils and other factors let them build up. Dandruff shampoos contain chemicals that cut through the attachments of old cells and help them separate in a more uniform fashion, often undetected to most people. Dandruff should be seen as a natural part of getting older. It is not a disease but a hair care issue.

Question 5

i believe i have a vaginal infection and my gynecologist doesnt have an appointment open until next week.  it is very uncomfortable, can i go to a regular doctor? or do i have to go to a gynecologist for this type of infection? thank you, sarah.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal infection ?': A physician who is general practice or internal medicine can certainly do cultures and treat a simple vaginal infection.

Question 6

what will happen if i drank a can of sarsi and ate a mentos without realising it ?

Accepted Answer

Sarsi and mentos: Not much of a problem as long as you don't make that mistake too often.

Question 7

is macaroni salad non dairy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The macaroni is non-dairy and can even be made with rice noodles which are gluten free.  However the sauce is the critical element.  Some are made with dairy elements, cream and milk and sour cream, for instance.  You need to make it yourself if non-dairy is the goal.

Question 8

is saran wrap ok for oral sex?

Accepted Answer

No: Best use it for wrapping your tuna sandwich!

Question 9

can eating corn starch make your baby big?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Corn starch is a carbohydrate. Eating too many carbohydrate can make a person gain weight. I'm not sure what you mean by "make your baby big". Are you talking about weight, height or something else. Corn starch is present in a lot of edible items  we eat every day. The amount eaten has to be considered. I would advise you to talk to your pediatrician &amp; a dietician.

Question 10

why can't i eat anymore after having salad?

Accepted Answer

Bulk: The stomach sends  signals to the brain as you eat and it is the brain that tells you when you have had enough to eat. Maybe it is your brain that is oversensitive to the signals from the stomach and that could be due to an abundance of empty calories in the rest of your diet. Empty calories = food with insufficient vitamin content, unfortunately the common standard american diet (sad).
