Question

My five year old has been with high fever of up to 104. Shesuffers from asthma and gets seizures from high fever.She also has a runny nose, is coughing and is vomitingnon-stop. What should I do?

Answer 1

Seizures ave many ca: Many seizures are caused by unknown factors causing irritability of the cerebral cortex. The fact that your son has not had a seizure ib 15 years is certainly encouraging. A medical neurologist is the specialist to consult. Eeg's may be helpful in reassuring you about the long term outlook.

Answer 2

Teen onset seizures: Ideopathic seizures frequently occur in adolescence. There are many factors that can contribute, i.e. Sleep deprivation, alcohol or drug ingestion, etc. If a recurrence were to happen, it usually occurs within 2 years. Since it is 15 years, i would not expect any further seizures.

Answer 3

No.: You can get infection at the site of hair follicles, but you cannot get sores vaginally. You need to be seen by a doctor who can check your herpes viral titers.

Answer 4

Very Few: While laser eye surgery (lasik, prk) is very safe, there can rarley be complications that may affect vision. Most commonly, the eye may not achieve perfect vision, and an enhancement may be needed later. Dry eyes can occur and last for several months, and small abrasions may be present for a few days. More rarely, surface skin can sometimes grow under the flap, causing blurred vision.

Answer 5

See her doctor: Use of medications like Ibuprofen (advil/motrin) or naproxyn (aleve) started at the onset of her period may help decrease her symptoms. Have your sister see her doctor about other options to improve her menstrual cycles, .

Answer 6

Pain: Not sure if u had head trauma before, headaches or what medications you take. Best to consult a neurologist for workup.

Answer 7

Inflammation: Is the cause of swimmers ear. The skin gets wet and boggy and inflamed and it could bleed from that or if he picks it at all it could bleed. If he had a middle ear infection as well and the eardrum perforated it could bleed. None of these are terrible problems. If you are concerned it is always a good idea to have it checked out.
