Hay Fever | Hay Fever Symptoms | How To Get Rid Of Hayfever

health No Comments »

Hay Fever or Hayfever. This video is on hay fever symptoms, treatment, remedies and how to get rid of hay fever.

This weeks video is all about Hay Fever. Hay fever is usually worse between late March and September, especially when it’s warm, humid and windy. This is when the pollen count is at its highest. I hope my tips help and always remember you’re awesome.

This video was sponsored by Dr Fox (Online Doctor & Pharmacy):
https://www.doctorfox.co.uk/hay-fever

WHAT IS HAY FEVER:
Pollen is the name given to the fine powder that is produced by plants, trees or flowers to fertilise other plants, trees or flowers of the same species. Strictly speaking, hay fever is caused by an allergy to grass or hay pollens. Grass pollen is the most common cause and tends to affect people every year in the grass pollen season from about May to July (late spring to early summer). However, the term is often used when allergies are caused by other pollens such as tree pollens. Tree pollens tend to affect people from March to May (early to late spring) each year. Other people may be allergic to weed pollens (including nettles and docks). Weeds tend to pollinate from early spring to early autumn.

Symptoms are due to your immune system reacting to the pollen. Cells on the lining of the nose and eyes release chemicals (for example, histamine) when they come into contact with pollen. This causes inflammation in the nose (rhinitis) and eyes (conjunctivitis). Sometimes the sinuses and throat can also be affected.

Hay fever is also called seasonal allergic rhinitis because symptoms tend to occur at the same time, or in the same season, each year.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HAY FEVER:
The symptoms of hay fever include:

• Sneezing and coughing
• A runny or blocked nose
• Itchy, red or watery eyes
• Itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears
• Loss of smell
• Pain around your temples and forehead
• Headache
• Earache
• Feeling tired

If you have asthma, you might also:

• Have a tight feeling in your chest
• Be short of breath
• Wheeze and cough

Hay fever will last for weeks or months, unlike a cold, which usually goes away after 1 to 2 weeks.

HOW TO USE A NASAL SPRAY:
Are you using your nasal spray right? Believe me it’s not as simple as you think and by using it right should to see a massive improvement. Feel free to watch my video on how to use a nasal spray properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYQhIaoIKj0

HOW TO USE EYE DROPS:
Believe me when I say using an eye drop properly is not as simple as you think and by using it right it should really help. Feel free to watch my video on how to use an eye drop properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meft0OwowLE

EASY TIPS TO HELP WITH HAY FEVER:
Tip 1- Pollen count is higher in the morning and night, so keep windows and doors closed particularly early evenings.

Tip 2 – Try putting a tiny amount of vaseline around nostrils to help trap pollen. This will also help if your nose is sore from blowing it too much. I wouldn’t recommend this for children only adults.

Tip 3 – Shower and change your clothes after you’ve been outside to wash pollen off.

Tip 4 – Wear wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes.

Tip 5 – Vacuum regularly and dust with a damp cloth.

Tip 6- Buy a pollen filter for the air vents in your car and a vacuum cleaner with a special HEPA filter.

WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR:
See a GP if:
• Your symptoms are getting worse.
• Your symptoms do not improve after taking medicines from the pharmacy.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In the aftermath of her husband’s affair, Drew (Lonette McKee) commiserates with her girlfriends.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
An alienated young man begins to question his own sanity in the wake of a horrible crime in the psychological thriller Fever. Nick Parker (Henry Thomas) is an aspiring artist who spends his evenings working on paintings and teaches art at the local YMCA to make ends meet. Nick has an apartment in a run-down building, where he often finds himself arguing with the landlord, Sidney (Sandor Tecsy). One night, Nick is disturbed by loud noises from the apartment above; he soon discovers the room has been rented to Will (David O’Hara), a threatening character who doesn’t particularly care that Nick asked for an apartment without upstairs neighbors so he could work in peace. When Sidney is soon found murdered, Nick is questioned by a police detective (Bill Duke); Nick tells him he saw Sidney arguing with a drunk he evicted a few days before. However, when Nick passes the story along to Will, Will angrily replies that the old rummy wasn’t capable of such a brutal crime. Before long, Nick starts sinking deeper into paranoia, wondering if his occasional rages might have something to do with his building’s sudden crime wave. Fever was directed by Alex Winter, best known for his role opposite Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure; the film was screened in the Directors Fortnight series at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

How to Treat & Reduce Your Baby’s Fever | TYLENOL®

health No Comments »

One of the scariest moments as a parent is when your child or baby has their first fever. Know when to call a doctor and when to consider home remedies to help treat a fever.

Some reasons to call a doctor include:
• Your baby is younger than 3 months old and has a fever higher than 100.4°F
• Your child of any age has a fever higher than 104.0°F
• He has other symptoms like an earache, vomiting, severe sore throat, or unexplained rash
• The fever lasts more than 24 hours in a child under 2 years old, or more than 72 hours in a child 2 years or older

There are ways you can help at home in the meantime. Learn how to reduce a fever and keep your baby cool and comfortable with these simple steps:
• Make sure your baby drinks plenty of fluids
• While you never want to force them, kids can eat while they have a fever
• You can give your child a lukewarm bath to cool the fever. Take your baby out of the bath if they start to shiver.

Plasma Leakage

health No Comments »

Plasma Leakage

Plasma leakage is the most serious complication that distinguishes dengue from severe dengue. In a patient with severe dengue, although plasma leaks from the blood vessels, the red blood cells are too large to pass into the tissue. Severe plasma leakage can result in hypovolemic shock. Excessive IV fluids can lead to respiratory failure. Plasma leakage continues for 24 to 48 hours during which time the patient may have several episodes of shock and look relatively well in-between.
