Hello i suffer from gerd. I got the flu and took dayquil but now the mouth of my stomach is hurting. Is it safe to take maalox and dayquil together?

Answer 1

It : It does not sound like an allergy per se. Have you seen your doctor? You might want to see a stomach doctor, who might be able to help.

Answer 2

It's : It's possible! this could be allergy or a sensitivity to wheat. It is not uncommon for people with these problems to get some kind of a withdrawal symptom, or especially to crave the food. I would not say that something bad is going to happen if you don't eat wheat, indeed, you may feel better. There are several other problems an ENT allergist or general allergist would want to know. A gastroenterologist may be someone else to talk to, and may reccommend a test for celiac disease. Do you have trouble swallowing? Do you suffer from diarrhea or constipation? Do you have trouble with inhalant allergies, especially in may to june during grass season? You definitely could be helped by any of the specialists mentioned above. In the meantime, try taking wheat out of your diet and see what happens. It does not sound like you have a serious (anyphylaxis) sensitivity to wheat, so you might try 4 days with no wheat at all, and then eat something with a lot of wheat, such as wheat bread, and see what your symptoms are. This could give you fairly significant gastrointestinal symptoms from your description, so you may want to do this through your allergist instead.

Answer 3

Airway inflammation: Since ear infections begin with inflammation in the upper airway (nose and throat), parents should avoid situations that may lead to inflammation. These include, but are not limited to: cold viruses, irritants like cigarette smoke, and aeroallergens such as pollen, in certain susceptible children.

Answer 4

Bacterial infection: It is important to maintain your child's recommended vaccine status. Current evidence suggests that since we have been vaccinating children against infection with the pneumococcus and the haemophilus organisms ("meningitis vaccines"), the actual number of doctor visits for ear infections has declined.

Answer 5

Ear infections: The greatest reason for ear infection in the very young is due to both anatomy and laying down. As a child grows the angle of the tube that hooks the ear to the throat becomes more acute, and the tube becomes longer, resulting in most kids "outgrowing" the risk. However, there are a number of other factors and one of the most often over looked is allergies which cause chronic nasal congestion.

Answer 6

Yes: It is ok to bathe your baby, even with tender spots or a rash. However if your baby seems really uncomfortable you may want to make an appointment with your pediatrician. Remember babies do not need a bath every day- this could dry out their skin and make it prone to peeling or increased tenderness. Instead, bathe every 2-4 days.

Answer 7

Yes: Keeping the skin clean is especially important if the skin is irritated and cracked because germs can enter broken skin. Use a mild cleanser and rinse well, since soaps can irritate the skin further. Cover with a mild lotion or petrolatum jelly to moisturize the skin. If not getting better, see baby's doctor!

Answer 8

Either: Either may help with symptoms. Hydrocortisone cream which is available over-the-counter may both relieve the symptoms and help get rid of the rash. Antihistamines like claritin, zyrtec and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will also help for both.

Answer 9

Xerosis: Calamine lotion are great for viral exanthem! aloe vera are great for innate moisturizers and skin calming properties! apply as directed , regards!

Answer 10

Probably normal: If you do not have pain and no fever then this may be normal. All of our tongues have bumps on the back of them and just maybe you never noticed them. The tonsils can collect debris and dead cells that slough off and these can collect as small white plugs in the tonsil itself. If there is no pain it is unlikely that you have an infection.

Answer 11

Infection: Pus is an absolute sign of infection. You may have a bacterial infection. I suggest you see your primary care physician promptly for a diagnosis, which may include a painless culture & a regimen of the appropriate antibiotic. You should recover quickly.

Answer 12

YES -- get HELP!: Ibuprofen, and other nsaid's, particularly in a dose-dependent fashion (based on milligrams consumed & duration of use) can cause ulcers in any part of the GI tract. Due to the platelet inhibition effect of ibuprofen, ulcers caused by it may indeed bleed massively. If that is the scenario you're describing--immmediately stop taking Ibuprofen and get to the er!
