Question

42yr old, male, good health. Took Claritin (loratadine) d- it elevated hr to 91 for 3 hrs. Rest hr is lower 70s. I have post nd. Is it safe to continue taking it?

Answer 1

COVID 19: We have to do the best that we can to socially distance from all of those folks. I am only going to places if I really need to. Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinf

Answer 2

1-10 days: Your pre milk or colostrum is probably already in, but your full milk supply can take a few days or more especially for the first time mom. A baby's cry, suckling, and holding your baby are all stimulants to your milk "letdown". Other factors which may help with your milk release is good hydration, good eating habits, drugs and sleep. Supplementation with formula can help in the meantime.

Answer 3

2 days: Milk supply will increase to meet demand in about 48 hours. This includes after birth, and for the inevitable, normal "growth spurts" when junior decides she needs more. More-frequent (no necessarily longer) nursing for 2 days will increase supply or help your milk "come in.".

Answer 4

1 days: I dislike the phrase "come in." it makes it seem as if there's no milk there at birth. There is! it's just a different recipe, called colostrum. The baby's stomach can only handle a tsp or 2 in the first few days, so that volume you make is perfect. Increase in milk volume happens when its needed, around days 3-5, but can be effected by mode of delivery (c-sections), diabetes and other factors.

Answer 5

It isn't: In an uncomplicated pregnancy, repeated ultrasounds aren't necessary. A 1st trimester sonogram is best for confirming the due date and number of fetuses while fetal anatomy is best assessed in the mid to late 2nd trimester. Additional sonograms may be recommended if complications such as hypertension, diabetes, or pre-eclampsia arise, but for the uncomplicated, low risk patient, 2 should suffice.

Answer 6

Development: Make sure fetus is developing and growing normal. Placenta has not separate from uterus.

Answer 7

Weak immunity!: Your immunology is weak against the herpes virus. Valtex daily can help. Natural answers include lysine and zinc (50mg of zinc gluconate!

Answer 8

Virus: The cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. If you are getting them often then your immune system may be under stress or compromised. There is no way to get rid of the virus once you are infected. What you can do is take an antiviral medication such as Valtrex (valacyclovir) when you feel one coming on during the tingling stage. This should help prevent/minimize the sore. See your doctor for an evaluation.

Answer 9

Exercise: Exercise and weight loss . Working out regularly lowers resting heart rate.

Answer 10

Exercise regularly: The athletic heart is known for being efficient: pumps more blood per beat, and beats 50-60 times per minute at rest, sometimes even slower. Regular cardiovascular aerobic conditioning (running, cross-country skiing, cycling, swimming, rowing) can cause these adaptations. A slow heart rate is most common among runners, and is cardioprotective.

Answer 11

Four: Incisors, cuspids, bicuspids and molars.

Answer 12

2 sets, 4 types: Primary (baby) teeth with incisors, cupids (canines) and molars. Then permanent teeth come with incisors, cuspids, premolars (bicuspids), and molars.
