Answers
1)   to barf and hope it cums out - Matt

2)   There can be many causes of mucus in the throat such as colds, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux and sinus infections. Throat mucus can be uncomfortable, make it difficult to swallow, cause constant throat-clearing or even drain into the stomach, causing nausea and bellyaches.

Step 1
Add a pinch of salt to warm water and gargle. You can do this multiple times a day.

Step 2
Drink some hot tea with honey to soothe your throat and break up mucus.

Step 3
Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air and help break up the congestion.

Step 4
Take vitamin C to help boost your immune system to fight off sickness. Eat oranges.

Step 5
Take over-the-counter antihistamines if the throat mucus is caused by allergies or antibiotics if it is caused by an infection.

Step 6
Avoid spicy foods, especially near bedtime, if the throat mucus is being caused by gastroesophageal reflux.

Step 7
Drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. Avoid caffeine and diuretics, as they can increase urination.

Step 8
Use cough syrup with guaifenesin, which thins mucus secretions. - TEDDY WONG

3)   Drinking lots of fluids will thin the congestion. Mucinex is very effective. I would mention this to a doctor, though, as years of congestion might be sign of chronic bronchitis or something. If you smoke, I hope you stop. - ExeneC

4)   that is a hard question mucus is hard to get rid of what i do is drink lots of tea with lemon and honey drink while hot and it smooths it down dont drink milk makes it worse - FML

7)   You have lots of great suggestions above to help reduce it, here is one to help prevent it - nose sprays. The ones with steroids work quite well, but may not be appropriate for everyone, and there are ones that are just saltwater, no drugs at all, that if used often enough will also keep you clear and prevent the drip from happening. - daydreamin_cutie

Question 2
How do you tell if you have blood clots in your legs?...  Doctors say that cramps are an indicator, but how do you differentiate a blood clot cramp from an exercise cramp or a strained muscle?

Answers
1)   a blood clot is a very sharp pain that begins at the clot and goes down the rest of the appendage. - David

2)   You don't.

If the doctor thinks that you have a blood clot, then you're sent for an ultrasound on one or both legs. - ckm1956

4)   Sometimes dieting and exercise simply is not sufficient, because there will be surplus weight simply lying around in your colon. It is not body fat, so it can not be melted off, however it will be rinsed out, simply by having a supplement. http://rikump.fatfreestore.info has a risk free offer offered right now, I tried it and lost seventeen pounds!!

Question 3
what are the remedies for a child who is suffering from asthma?...  the child is 5 year old.

3)   Check out this site. www.Buteyko.com. I did 5 years ago and it's kept me off meds for my emphysema although it is mainly for asthma. - frogholler9

4)   When your child suffers from asthma attacks, you may become frightened when he begins wheezing and struggles with his breathing. In order to stay calm and not frighten your child further, it is imperative that you and the pediatrician develop a treatment plan to stop asthma attacks and to prevent future ones

Step 1
Develop an Asthma Action Plan for your child with her pediatrician, which will cover daily medications, such as the preventive medicines and their dosages and times taken. It also focuses on what triggers to avoid, and when to notify the doctor in case of an emergency.

Step 2
Control the triggers that may be worsening your child's asthma. If the pet dander from the family dog sets it off and you cannot bear to get rid of it, then keep the dog off the furniture or carpets and out of your child's bedroom. Keep her away from mold and pollen by keeping the windows closed during allergy season and keeping her inside from late morning until early afternoon when the counts are most prevalent.

Step 3
Stop an immediate asthma attack, with bronchodilators, quick-relief medicine for coughing, wheezing and breathing problems. While these medications come in other forms, most asthma sufferers use a rescue inhaler, most commonly known as Albuterol.

Step 4
Select preventative daily medication for your child to control his asthma. Intal is less potent than other preventative steroid inhalers, so some doctors prefer it for children. It can be used as an inhaler or administered through a nebulizer, 2 puffs, 3 times a day. If you prefer a steroid inhaler like Flovent, make sure your child uses his rescue inhaler first, and to rinse his mouth out with water to avoid thrush. Often a pediatrician may prescribe Singulair, an anti-inflammatory pill, along with an inhaler as a preventative course.

Step 5
Record your child's symptoms in a daily log. They have been controlled, if he has been able to participate in all of his everyday activities, has only had to only use his rescue inhaler one to two times a week, and his wheezing has not woken him more than once a month.

Step 6
Take your child to the pediatrician for doctor checkups one to twice a month, so that the doctor check your child's symptom's and check her breathing using the peak flow meter.

Step 7
Track your child's breathing at home, after the doctor shows you how to use the peak flow meter. Have your child take a deep breath, then blow into the tube, so that you can decipher how well his lungs are functioning by how much air he can blow in a second.

Step 8
Call the doctor or the emergency services if the rescue inhaler is not controlling an asthma attack or if your child's score on the peak flow meter drops below 50% of her best number. - TEDDY WONG

Question 4
Itchy red rash every time I get out of shower?...  Every time I get out of the shower I have red patches all over my back and it's itchy. Sometimes they're also under my neck. There's a tiny little dot in the middle of each patch most of the time, kind of like a mosquito bite, but I know it's not....they go away after about a half an hour. It's not the soap I'm using, because I switch a lot and have gotten the same results. Has this happened to anyone else? And do you know what it could be? Thanks
