Avatar f tn Oh wow. have you been formally diagnosed with OCD and if so, have you had any treatment whatsoever?
Avatar f tn she panicked and said that he may have transmitted her some germs from where he touched (public transport etc.. ) and she put iodine solution !!! i laughed and said she was over the top with this but she has OCD so maybe that's why she overrecacted. question is who is right ? me or her ? just to reassure her. please reply as she is making herself ill with worry.
446049 tn?1649005835 Remember that coughing is a way to move mucous out. I do understand, though, as coughing is abrasive to the system and that becomes irritated and people then end up coughing for awhile due to just that. So, maybe just use the cough medicine at night. Allergies often have 'itchiness' to them. Itchy eyes, back of throat. And over the counter allergy medicine works pretty fast. You could try and see if it makes any difference but I really think you basically have a cold.
Avatar f tn I probably wouldn't have sent him home if he wasn't wiping his snot on his hand and coughing without covering his mouth. I only sent him home an hour early.....lol. maybe im just being a freak. My mom was the same way. I blame her!
10314571 tn?1428116218 Ive had a sore throat for about 2 days and the doctor told me to take robitussin dm with no dye or sugar. It's really not helping and i have headaches from coughing. My nose isn't congested nor have i had a fever. Anybody else know of anything stronger we can take I'm at 26 weeks.
Avatar n tn I would take her to her physician as soon as you are able, it is certainly not healthy for her to keep coughing and vomiting. The coughing will hurt her insides if it is too strong and vomiting will prevent her from getting her much needed nutrients from food, etc. I really am not able to tell you what it is, it could be a number of things, and, as I said, it would be best if she saw a doctor. Please let me know the outcome, I know she must be miserable.
Avatar n tn my daughter was a typical outgoing, fun loving little girl. she attends pre-k full time at a private school. this year there were more boys than girls in her class... and her "best friend" went on to a different class. not only was she withdrawn during the day, but became increasingly anxious and unhappy about going to school. she has a coughing-cold and suddendly became incredibly scared that she'd infect others with her "germs".
Avatar m tn t bother me then, but back home I started to overthink it and then I really freaked out. She walked on her socks on the floor and possibly picked up some dirt on the floor. Altough her house looks clean she has a rabbit who runs through her house. I am really scared that I could get sick. The sock was not wet or did not look dirty, but still... The day after my troat felt sore and I am coughing for some days now. Googled some stuff and that freaked me more.
Avatar m tn I had been getting really bad GERD symptom- coughing, wheezing, hotness of mouth but time of proper sleeping- not lying down before hand generally. I also have had powerful sneezing particularly at night but not just then also morning sometimes. I realised I had been drinking expired off milk- I noticed some off taste but because I was eating it with cocoa- I did realise the milk was- 4 days past used-by date.
Avatar f tn That candida, fungus, germs and all that nonsense is all BS. All the evidence is pointing the other direction. What's causing PATM is likely plain toxins from normal gut microbial but ends up in so much amount in our blood stream. How it got there, I can think of two ways. We have some defective gut and liver enzymes that can’t detoxify these normal toxins, that also exist in other people, but end up being absorbed.
519035 tn?1348275773 I will add Vitamine D to Shannon's list above. I have noticed that in the summer, my 6 year old is healthy as a horse. Of course it's when she's out in the sunshine and in the pool (Vit D and chlorine to wash off those germs) and away from the other million kids at school who are constantly ill. However... She recently (a couple of months ago) got pretty sick. I took her into the doctor to check out the never-ending cough.
Avatar n tn I too have been having coughing attacks where I cough until I vomit. I am on acid reflux meds and nasal spray to help postnasal drip. This has been going on for about 2 months. I had this before about 3 years ago. The dr. tells me there is nothing they can do about it. It's really bad in the fact I can't go anywhere without having facial tissue and a sack or something to vomit in, cause I never know when I'll have an attack.
Avatar n tn Go to the OCD forum. You weren't ever at risk of contacting HIV.
Avatar f tn m in nursing school and you catch colds by touching something with germs on it and then your mouth nose or eyes so keep you hands washed
Avatar f tn I've been coughing, blowing my nose, or trying to, no appetite, sore throat and swollen glands..Well I couldn't sleep at all last night and I swear I felt the baby kicking or punching me like he/she was MAD. It wasn't fluttering like some describe, but instead was like pangs on my right side, literally felt like punches. I go for a nt Monday morning at 8 so hopefully they can tell me what's what..but has anyone else felt this before?
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm a sixteen year old female and I think I'm freaking out mostly because I have a not so severe Mysophobia. I drank by accident out of my friends water bottle and he's sexually active and I fear that I now may have oral herpes because I seem to have the symptoms. I'm sorry I must seem insane but I know him very well and all of the oral sex etc.
Avatar f tn How long are you going to wait to take your newborn out into the world?
676912 tn?1332812551 Glad you agree! It bugs me that parents with sick kids take them out to begin with when they should be at home resting, and the fact that they take them to places where otherwise healthy children are running around catching all their germs...it makes me so mad! I know parents do pox parties so their kids will catch it and be done with it, BUT there's no need to take your snot nosed, coughing, sneezing kid out in public unless necessary knowing you're exposing so many others.
Avatar m tn My boyfriend had a stint put in a valve5 years ago.and recently when he starts coughing real hard.he passes out it looks like it is more like a seziure.Does anyone know what this an be. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/867450'>Heart stoppage</a>.
Avatar n tn If the child had an intestinal virus or bacteria, it would have to go quite the circuitous route to get into your your digestive tract, because airborne germs applies more to sneezing and coughing from colds.
Avatar n tn Syncope is the medical term for "passing out" and fainting or passing out with harsh coughing is not uncommon, whatever the cause of the cough. The cough may be due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but you should not assume that. If you smoke cigarettes or marijuana, that could be the cause. But, you should check out the cough with your doctor on this and, at least, have a chest x-ray. Most chronic coughs can at least be controlled, if not totally eliminated.
Avatar n tn 4 months into the relationship I become very sick with flu like symptoms (but no coughing, sore throat or nasal discharge). My lymph nodes in my neck become very swollen and my cheeks, gums, entire mouth and tongue started to burn with pain and had what appears to be tiny blisters. This lasted for about 2 weeks with on and off again chills. Looking on the internet the symptoms appear to be that of a primary HSV1 infections. How can this be as I already get cold sores on my upper lip??
