Infected Pierced Ears in Children
While earrings can make your little girls’ ear lobes more beautiful, if they are untended to, these piercings can become a source of infection. To ensure that your child’s earrings remain a thing of beauty, and not a source of pain, check her ears for infection regularly. If your child is old enough to monitor her own ear health, allow her to play a part by teaching her both how to spot, and how to avoid, ear piercing-related infections.

With a variety of exercises throughout the pregnancy, you’ll have a well-rounded preparation for labor.
Pap Test Guidelines
The Pap test, also known as a Pap smear, is a test used to identify pre-cancerous cells on a woman’s cervix. After 1945, when the American Cancer Society (ACS) began recommending women have Pap tests to detect cervical cancer in its earliest stages, the number of deaths from cervical cancer dropped by approximately 74 percent between 1955 and 1992, according to the E Health MD website. Pap tests used to be recommended for women annually; however, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has recently altered its guidelines for when and how often women should have the test done.
