After I brush my teeth, about 30 minutes later, I get this guncky thick sticky white stretchy stuff on my cheeks, under my tongue. I use toothpaste with the ADA symbol on it. Just wondering what it is. If I use toothpaste without the ADA logo on it, I don't have this problem.

It might be pus due to an infection of teeth. Consult a dentist immediately. ...

Hi, Try and monitor your blood pressure for a few days may be 7-10 days regularly. Monitor your b.p twice in a day, morning and evening. If your b.p is always above that 140 mark then your dosage might be changed. Otherwise b.p around 140 mark is considered good at that age ,other risk factors need to be assessed like your diabetic status and obesity but first of all you monitor your b.p for a few days regularly with your normal diet pattern (which should be low salt and oil intake) Feel free ...

hello, i have a polyp under my touge that gets stuck on my teeth when i eat and talk, it is very sore and i was told by my dentist that i would have to have it cut out, i have a phobia of needles so i am unable to have it removed. i was wondering if there is any other way to get rid of it. thank you.

Unfortunetly no! Unless the causative factor may be a broken or sharp edge of a tooth, dental prosthesis or habit, in which case removing the causative factor will cause the polyp to regress without any medicine, but in your case follow the dentist advise get rid of the same ...

My 2 1/2 year old son has a swollen upper lip (not just the lip, but everything from the bottom of the nose down). He has had a cough for about a week and a half. About a week ago, he started getting a fever every day. Took him to the Dr. 3 days ago, and he has been on antibiotics since then. Fever has since stopped. Cough sounds like it's starting to get better (still bad). Should I be concerned about his swollen lip? I am pretty sure that it was swollen before we went to the Dr., but I didn't think to ask about it while we were there. Also, he hasn't had much of an appetite for about a week now. Most days, he's been eating 4-5 bites of food. (But he seems to be staying well hydrated.) To my knowledge, he hasn't bumped his lip. Nothing new has been introduced to his diet, so I don't think it's an allergic reaction. (He had these same anitbiotics when he was 15 months old) Thanks.

I just turned 57 yrs old. I had periods until Sept 2012 with spotting each month through Dec 2012 then nothing until October 2013, had a light period that lasted about a week, cramps, tender breasts etc. Had spotting this month Nov 2013 also with tender breasts. Had hot flashes while I wasn't having periods but those went away since I started having periods again. I also was having huge amounts of cervical mucous that strands all the way into the toilet at times. I was checked a couple years ago and the Dr noted the large amount of clear mucous but no ideas. The huge amount of mucous is back. Is this normal? I know I'm a late peri-menopause. I do carry too much belly fat and was wondering if I might have PCOS or something? Any certain tests that should be done?

Yes, I suggest that a workup done to investigate why you still have bleeding, if this is still menstrual period or post-menopausal bleeding. Please have a transvaginal ultrasound done. If endometrial stripe is thick, you may discuss with your gynecologist if endometrial biopsy is warranted. ...

Hi I was wondering if you can have rhinoplasty if you have epilepsy

Hi Leanne24, Yes you can have rhinoplasty done. You need a proper pre operative work up regarding the cause for your epilepsy and you will have to be under antiepileptic medications before and for a few weeks after the procedure. But those are the things your surgeon and anaesthetist will discuss examine you and your records and then do the procedure. If everything is in order then no reason why a rhinoplasty cant be done under proper medical treatment and antiepileptic medication cover. Plea ...
