Back to School for the Big Kids!
Back to school looks very different for our big-sized kids, but there are still must-have items and things to consider when you have a kiddo heading off for dorm room living.
Night Chills & Fever
During challenging physical conditions and situations, the body undergoes temperature changes. For instance, the body shows signs and symptoms that trigger the natural body defenses against dreaded diseases. Chills often predict the coming of a fever or an increase in body temperature. The body tries to generate heat when it feels cold through rapid contraction and relaxation that can cause chills. When fever manifests, the body’s temperatures reaches one or two notches higher than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit and may indicate an infection or illness.
Is Baby Oragel Safe?
Baby Orajel is a familiar name brand on your drugstore shelves. This topical treatment contains benzocaine, an oral analgesic also used in sore throat sprays and nonprescription topicals for toothache, sore gums and denture pain. The American Academy of Pediatrics, or AAP, cautions you that Baby Orajel and similar products for teething babies may not be as safe as you think.
Hearing Impaired Children
A child does not have to be totally deaf to be hearing impaired, although deafness is certainly a hearing impairment. Hearing difficulties can vary from a partial to a complete hearing loss and from permanent damage to a correctable condition. Some children are born with hearing damage and others develop the loss later, perhaps by overexposure to loud noise.
Removing Stretch Marks After Pregnancy
Stretch marks, or striae, are visible skin irregularities caused by stretching. While men and children can get stretch marks during rapid growth or weight gain, women often notice these marks after pregnancy. Most stretch marks usually grow fainter over time. Certain treatments may help your stretch marks fade and appear less visible.
