About three days ago I began feeling pains in stomach. It started with very little aches which I took liver salt thinking it might take away the pain but a day afterward, it got worse. Initially, before the pains I could feel my stomach has become inflated but never gave gas. A friend recommended de-worming but I want to know if its the right remedy and or or how I can get rid of it at home. Your reply is very welcome cos I really need help. Thanks in advance.




I have a terribly runny nose and whenever the mucous comes out of my nose, it leaves this sort of stinging sensation on the region of skin between my nose and upper lip. I’m guessing this is because the mucous is somewhat acidic and irritates the skin. But it is really irritating because every time I blow my nose, I have to come in contact with the region that stings. Does anybody know a remedy (either some natural remedy or the name of some manufactured cream) that can help me? Thank you.

How do I ensure my sinuses are clear at night?

Every night, my sinuses become clogged and it becomes next to impossible to breathe through my nose. The discomfort isn’t too much of a bother for me, the main inconvenience is that I have to breathe through my mouth at night, and when I do my mouth dries out, giving me bad breath in the morning that is very, very hard to get rid of. I’ve tried taking allergy and cold medications, however not even NyQuil worked. What can I do to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

Anyone ever thought of it? My boyfriend (actually common law husband?) is just getting over a serious bladder infection that almost killed him. He had fever, chills and vomiting for a couple of days before he finally got DEATHLY sick and ended up in the hospital with sepsis. The wonders of modern science. It got me thinking if we were both stranded on a deserted island and this happened, how would I get him over it? Would I be able to get him over it or would he just die? Maybe this is something that should be taught in a survival class because it COULD happen!
