Tips For Making Flu Shots Easier On Kids... And Parents 1 Comment
Source: Health News from Medical News Today Category: Consumer Health News
Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - September 26, 2009: Since I was always recommended to give my children a spoon of Calpol/Tylenol after their shots to keep any fever down as a result of their vaccines, I decided to instead start giving them the spoon of medicine about 45 minutes before the vaccine, thereby avoiding any fever in the first place and also reducing the pain felt at the time of the vaccine. Seemed like common sense to me and seemed to reduce any discomfort since they never cried when receiving injections after I started doing this (whereas they did before). Nice to read here that this approach is being recommended by professionals.

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - July 15, 2009: I was wondering if the quantity of the virus with which you get infected may have a difference on the severity of your illness. This interesting article suggests that it may. When a head teacher in the US died of the illness I wondered whether being a head teacher at a school where there was a significant outbreak he had been in contact with a massive dose of the virus which may have effected his outcome. This makes me think that taking extra care with cleanliness is important even if you think that contamination is inevitable, since at least you may minimise any does of this illness that you do eventually get. It a...

Latest Comment by xen - July 14, 2009: “It is very important that members of the public do not panic, and continue to follow health advice about swine flu and managing it if they are infected. The vast majority will recover quickly by taking paracetamol or ibuprofen and drinking plenty of fluids.” So exactly what are you telling us now? that swine flu goes away with paracetamol? The impression was that until now anyone with swine flu was being treated with antivirals. Does the NHS actually have and use that Tamiflu stockpile they have been telling us about or not?

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - July 10, 2009: I find it frustrating that very little information is released about the fatalities and serious cases (either here in the UK or elsewhere). I understand that there is an issue of patient confidentiality, but it may help to prevent such cases if we all knew a little more. We don’t need to know who this patient was, for example, but it would be useful know how long they were ill, and at what point medical help was sought. Do we, for example, need to be most watchful when symptoms start, or a week into the illness, or with the prolonged cases where people are taking longer to get better? And clearly when do we need to se...
