8101930 tn?1420001456 My son is 2 months and just received his first shots yesterday including the rotavirus vaccine. I noticed that after his shots and today he has been pooping yellow colored like normal but it is very chunky. He is exclusively breast fed and always has a little bit of a seedy stool but this is very chunky. I'm Just curious if anyone knows if this is normal or not. Could it be from the rotavirus vaccine because they do ingest it. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I have a fear of being infected with hiv from blood on surfaces. Most recently, I am very nervous about an incident that happened to me the other day. I purchased a sandwich from a store and it was placed in a plastic shopping bag. After I got home and ate the sandwich I noticed red splotches all over the side of the bag. The red could very well have been ink, but I am very worried that it might have been blood.
287246 tn?1318570063 So I just wanted to see how all of the little ones are doing!! Mary has had this awful stomach bug since Saturday. She was having awful diarrhea w/ fever. No vomiting though. So I took her to the doc on Monday. The doc said that if I couldn't get more fluids down her, she would have to go to the ER for IV fluids. I have been using a syringe and giving her the flavorless Pedialyte. She is wetting her diaper more, but still having the diarrhea. How long will this last?? Ugh....
Avatar f tn For example about a week ago I was drinking and fell I cut my hip on the concrete driveway, and my finger on some glass. It was visibly bleeding and because I had been drinking I did not get a chance to cover it with a band aid. My questions are these - 1. Can/What is the probability of contracting hep c through environmental cuts. Such as cutting yourself on weights, or falling and getting a cut on the ground. Just environmental wounds in general...
Avatar m tn How long does Hep C last on surfaces outside the body? I've read wide conflicting statements with 16 hours to 4 days and 6 weeks. Which is it?
Avatar n tn What is the difference here. If I go into a dirty hotel, lay down on wet semen soaked sheets and I have a sore on my back which comes in contact with the sheet, why can't I get infected if a person who lives with an HIV + housemate can? Does it have to do with timing? I am sorry, but I am having a hard time making sense of this. Thanks Just looking for further clcaity.
Avatar f tn My question this a possible route of transmission of hepatitis virus?
Avatar f tn 43 CDC has divided noncritical surfaces in dental offices into clinical contact and housekeeping surfaces.43 Clinical contact surfaces are surfaces that might be touched frequently with gloved hands during patient care or that might become contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious material and subsequently contact instruments, hands, gloves, or devices (e.g., light handles, switches, dental X-ray equipment, chair-side computers). Barrier protective coverings (e.g.
Avatar f tn At 12 months, she began to fall of her growth curve. Shortly after her first birthday, she got rotavirus and became severely dehydrated. After 4 trips to the ER (they thought I only wanted a cure for the stomach flu), she was admitted for 5 days and closely monitored. She was 17.5 lbs at her 1 year check up, she lost 1 1/2 lbs from rotavirus at admittance and upon discharge she weighed 18 lbs. A pediatrician who is a specialist thought she had celiac disease but testing came back negative.
Avatar n tn After two weeks I think a Doctor visit is in order, it could have been a stomach bug or some allergy to food.Could you tell me what foods he is mainly fed ?
Avatar f tn Not really sure, I'm a first time mom so I haven't been through that. I also don't know if it depends on your country..
Avatar n tn hi all, i went to a hiv test today, its negative (my ocd forces me to go, fleshlight paranoia was my last topic). so, my middle finger got paper cut a few days back, im sure abt this as i felt pain when i washed my hands. during the pricking procedure, my 4th finger accidentally touched my pinky, spreading some blood onto it. the doctor used a cotton swab to clean my pinky and apply a bandaid to my 4th finger.
Avatar f tn Diarrhea 1x daily on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, no BM Monday and Normal BM on Tuesday. Anyway he slept most of the day on Friday. Threw up again on Saturday night about 7 p.m. and again on Sunday night at 7 p.m. did not throw up again until Tuesday at 3:30 a.m. Currently appetite is good and fluid intake is good. He also acted like he felt ok on Sun and Mon before he threw up on Tuesday a.m. He is otherwise healthy, UPD on immunizations and check ups.. not in childcare.
Avatar f tn Thank you for taking most of my worries away. I have also flooded the jacket pocket with Rubbing alcohol. I have read that his can survive for multiple days outside.
Avatar n tn Happy new year. I went to visit my Friend in the hospital and went to the Bathroom in the er. I was sitting onthe toilet and my penis touched the side of the seat.. i looked and there was a tiny dot of what looked like blood. I'm pretty sure it was cause I get nose bleeds and in drips on my toilet at home sometimes. I was not bleeding so it must have been pretty fresh from someone in the ER. Should I get tested. I didn't see any blood on the tip of my penis but I think it did touch it.
Avatar f tn There was this card with an open staple on it on my door step and I cut my finger on it. If the person who sent this card had HIV and pricked their finger on it, is it possible for me to get HIV.
136689 tn?1419580447 she had rotavirus from birth but that is sorting it self out and has been putting on weight steadly so we are sort of hoping that the sweat test will come back negative do i have a glimmer of hope for a misdiagnoses?
Avatar m tn Apparently HPV cannot survive very long outside the body on dry surfaces; however HPV can survive outside the body, and does not require bodily fluids for transmission, possibly surviving longer on wet surfaces. Therefore, it is possible to contract HPV from surfaces that carry the virus, even though this would be extremely rare and is not well documented. We do not know for sure how long HPV would survive under these circumstances.
Avatar m tn Have you changed or added any new foods? Has the dog been on any new surfaces? Any chance it was bitten by an insect?
Avatar f tn While hep c can live on surfaces for long periods of times this is on undisturbed surfaces so really like a Petri dish in a laboratory. Common surfaces in the environment in which we live are far from undisturbed. And now in the land of covid most establishments are required to wipe down common touch points ie handrails and elevator buttons. Also if hep c was easily contracted there would be far more people infected.
Avatar f tn At my daughters dance class she had to go to the bathroom and I put toilet paper on the seat for her to go but I'm worried there were a couple dots of blood that I touched or wiped away when putting the toilet paper down. I'm not sure if it was blood or not. Is there any risk?
Avatar f tn guys please help me. it is about my little son. we were on holiday and two situations happened I am frozen about. The first is, our friend bought a souvenir - puffed up pufferfish - it has many small thorns and till we left the crowded market he succeeded in hurting my son, little stab, bleeding for a short while, I sucked the blood, then it stopped. anyone in the crowd could be stabbed by those thorns which came through the packing and were really sharp.
Avatar n tn someone with aids gets their blood or some other fluid from inside their body on a table a keyboard or any other commonly touched surfaces can alcohol immediately kill aids completely?
1414187 tn?1283269643 In cats it often resolves on its own but the fungus is very hardy and can persist in the environment for months (both in the air and on any contact surfaces resulting in periodic reappearance on your cat. You can treat her with any antifungal cream such as Tinactin or get a dip from your vet. To treat surfaces that may harbor the fungus, bleach is most effective.
Avatar n tn Hello, My brother has a rash on his chest and underarm 4 days ago. At first it was only small,red, itchy bumps and over the last few days it has turned into *****, scabby welts. He says they hurt more than itch now. Like a blister. He has been taking cellcept for over a year for an eye condition ( for uveitis). He also was taking care of a puppy for a friend. Could it be from one of those things?
