How long does it take for tragus piercings to heal and not be prone to infections?

---

I will be living on a wildlife preserve in Africa in February. Is 7 months plenty of time to be not be at risk for bad infections since I won't be able to clean it as well? This will be my second attempt at the piercing, with the first time ending in really bad infection. This next time I will use solid gold captive bead hoop!

Does Monistat really work for Vaginal Infections? & please tell symptoms of vaginal infections?

---

I'm 13. This is my first vaginal infection. It's either a yeast or bacterial infection.

Please tell me the symptoms of both types of infections.
Also, does Monistat work for relieving itch?
Or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks! I really need help!

& i already talked to my mom about it, and i am not going to the doctor.
I used Monistat, my doctor told me too. It really works for relieving the itch, pretty fast. It's good and I think it's ok to use it if you have vaginal discharge more than usually and itchiness. Hope this helps.  (+ info)

Can you get diseases or infections from a dirty plastic ear speculum?

---

Can you get diseases or infections from a dirty plastic ear speculum on the otoscope that doctor's use to examine your ears? The day after the doctor examined my ears, the wall around the channel of outer ear canal is swollen and puffy. And it somewhat hurt when I pressed outside my ear with my fingers. I am not sure if it's a pimple or something else. Thank you.
it is likely an otits externa infection (infection of the ear canal) and yes, using a dirty ear speculum can easily cause this. you really need to go to the doctors to have this checked out.  (+ info)

My daughter has two ear infections how long until the antibiotics will start making her feel better?

---

My 6 month old has two ear infections, they prescribed amoxicillin. About how long does it take for her to start feeling some relief she is in so much pain and it kills me. We just started the prescription at 5am this morning whenever I rushed her to the hospital because of a 103 temp. anyways what have been your experiences with this?
Antibiotics generally work very quickly. Usually one single dose can clear up an infection. But she is taking amoxicillin, and I'm assuming they prescribed that because she is so young and can't take anything else. Amoxicillin is pretty mild and does not work for most adults that well anymore. But I'm sure it will work for your baby just fine, and she should feel better within 24 hours.  (+ info)

How do you keep away bladder infections?

---

I keep getting bladder infections and I'm drinking loads and loads but when I wake up in the morning or the past 4 days Ive got it.
I'm new to the states, apart from uristat whats good?
The best thing you can do to prevent bladder infections is to drink at least one glass of cranberry juice a day. It has to be 100% cranberry juice, not one of the mixed kind (ex: cranberry & raspberry). The mixed ones contain sugars that will actually worsen a bladder infection if you have one. You could alternatively take cranberry supplements, but drinking the juice is better if you can handle the taste.  (+ info)

How do I get rid of infections down there?

see your doctor it can get a lot worse if left untreated  (+ info)

How do you deal with yeast infections?

---

I know all about monistat and the prescription drugs (I'm one of the unlucky women that gets chronic yeast infections. I've already been to the gyn, and she said it's just something that happens). But how do you deal with the "discomfort" and everything?
I have this same problem too! Aggh, it's so very frustrating, so I sympathize with you fully.

I started taking AZO YEAST tabs right before I get my period, which is when I usually get a yeast infection. This has helped. I also use Vagisil cream, and try to keep my bum as dry and as clean as possible by wearing a panty liner and changing it every hour or so.

I know diet can also effect the body ph, which is how yeast infections happen. Eating lots of plain yogurt with active/live cultures is helpful, as is reducing the ammount of sugar you eat when you have a yeast infection.

And get a new GYN, you should not have to "just live with this" problem.  (+ info)

What kind of infections can hair splinters cause?

---

I work at a hair salon and someone told me that cut hair can get in your skin like a splinter. They said that the hair contains DNA and that the DNA would cause the infection. Is this true? If so, what kind of infections, diseases and viruses?
That is completely false. You probably can get a hair splinter, but you'd be susceptible to the same things as you would with any other splinter. You can get a bacterial infection. Put some neosporin on the site and keep it clean.  (+ info)
