Question 1

what can i use ?

Accepted Answer

: There are many causes of runny nose, and a general physician or ENT physician can help to identify the cause. For general allergic rhinitis, it is most important to identify and remove the cause of the inflammation, whether this be pets, dust, pollen etc. Next, intranasal steroids typically are first line treatment followed by intranasal antihistamines.

Question 2

how do you use cpaps?

Accepted Answer

With a lot of help: Cpap, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure delivers warm, humidified air through the nose or mouth and pneumatically splints the airway preventing closure during sleep. CPAP can now be used with a large variety of masks. Most importantly, finding a trusted doctor and company who furnishes these machines will ensure initial education and close  follow up to trouble shoot problems.

Question 3

medical uses for alum?

Accepted Answer

Multiple Purposes: Alum is regularly employed as an astringent to shrink tissues and reduce the discharge of bodily fluids, as a styptic to contract organic tissues and stop or reduce hemorrhage and bleeding, and as an emetic agent to induce vomiting when someone has ingested poison. It is also often used to enhance certain vaccines and to prevent or treat infections.

Question 4

is exfexor safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Every medication: Has side effects.  The doctor who prescribed it considered its potential benefits versus its potential risks and decided that you should take this medication.  It is a complex decision that is impossible to discuss further here.

Question 6

what is epaderm use for?

Accepted Answer

Epaderm: This consists of emulsifying wax, yellow soft paraffin, liquid paraffin - it is applied to dry skin and it acts as a barrier preventing loss of water. Hence the skin stays moist.

Question 7

can children use clobex?

Accepted Answer

Clobex/children: It is safe to use in kids 12 and older.  Under age 12, it is a pretty hefty steroid to use for a kid.  It is a steroid, and a fairly potent one at that.  Kids can absorb it through their skin and it can then affect them as if they ingested it.  I would use a lower potency steroid on a kid under 12, although there are occasions when a stronger one is needed - close monitoring is then needed as well

Question 8

is it ok to use meladerm?

Accepted Answer

Most likely safe: Meladerm is an over the counter skin lightening agent.  It contains no prescription medications.  It does have some acids used for chemical peels so be careful not to overuse it.  Chemical peels can be very useful for treating many skin conditions.  The real question is it effective enought to justify the cost.

Question 9

is it charity to use chip?

Accepted Answer

CHIP: The children’s health insurance program (chip) provides health coverage for children whose families can’t afford private health insurance but who make too much money to be eligible for medicaid.  I guess the answer to your question depends on your definition of charity.

Question 10

is serapepase safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Serrapeptidase: I did a medline search and found primarily animal data: serrapeptidase is a topical proteolytic enzyme, ie it helps remove non-living tissue and reduces inflammation.  It seems to be effective in rats.  I didn't find any reliable information regarding safety. It's marketed on the internet as "a miracle enzyme".  I'm not sure why you would want to experiment on yourself?
