Avatar n tn Esophageal clearance is similar in infants and adults, although evidence of reduced peristaltic [the motion of the esophagus and intestine that moves the food through them] activity in preterm infants has been reported. [The article mentions that an Anatomic factor that contributes to GER is:] The angle of His (made by the esophagus and the axis of the stomach) is obtuse in newborns but decreases as infants develop. This ensures a more effective barrier against GER.

Avatar n tn re in pain or feel any discomfort, just tell them and they can give you a shot of something in your iv - I got Morphine and something for nausea which worked in a minute or two. After recovery, you go back to your room and start the recovery process. Was it the easiest surgery? probably not, but certainly a surgery that saved my life at 42 - due to a dangerous heart rhythm. Hope that helps.
689265 tn?1251130087 Not very often and I would think you would have to use a lot of it for a very long period of time to have any bad effects. I prefer Ibuprofen/Motrin to Tylenol. I just think it works much better and for longer periods of time. I was just at the doctor's office today with my 6 year old and was specifically told to use the IB due to her high fevers.
Avatar f tn A lot of the older generation fears the dangers of induction bc the u.s. does it and has the highest death rate for infants so they connect it to these newer methods which really are still being studied. I didnt induce until 41wks, but 39 is considered full term momma.

Avatar m tn Was your son also tested for the actual thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4? If not, he should be. TSH levels are, typically, higher in infants; what was the range given on the lab report? Your son must have adequate thyroid hormones in order to grow and develop normally; treatment is just as effective and necessary in infants, as it is in adults.

1431734 tn?1421011671 t have made it through treatment without my Ambien and like Diane I used it all of the time with my children when they were little (well not all of the time..........) and it was fine I doubt any pediatrician would prescribe it for children if it could possibly carry any risk. Plus a ton of people here have taken it to help them over the years and I'd think by now someone would have advised against it.
502147 tn?1237474522 Little did i know this was a downward spiral to hell for me. The pills worked great for along time I was high 24 hours a day. I was happy all the time. Nothing bothered me on them. That is the part that is hard to give up, the feeling you have when u take them. But last week was bad, real bad. I was alergic to the medication used to reverse the effects of the overdose and had to go through withdrawl in the hospital on my own with no meds. It was rough and I never again want to relive it.

3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.

Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
1386405 tn?1291587800 The biggest effect of Ibuprofen is in the last trimester. It affects the kidney/urine output of the fetus, which results in lower amniotic fluid levels. It can also thin your blood, which can increase the risk of heavy bleeding during delivery and after. Your OB will tell you the same thing. Everything will be ok, and now you know, and you won't take it again. Good luck with the pregnancy!
