Head Lice Problem

One of the most common problems of parents is having head lice.  My daughter catches headlice when her cousin came to visit in our house and play with her. After a few days, I notice that my daughter has itching around her head.  When I check her hair, I found nit, a lice egg. I know what is head lice look like because when I was a child, I also suffering from head lice because of having contact with my classmate who is infected by head lice.  My mother just removes lice by hand and using a special fine comb to catch head lice without over the counter drug.

Removing head lice manually requires a lot of effort, patience and time but you it makes sure that you are not using toxin materials in your head.  The same thing I do with my daughter, since I am a housewife mom, I patiently comb her hand in the morning, afternoon and evening to catch head lice and at same time remove it manually by my hand especially those nits that firmly attached to the hair shaft. And at same time, changed curtains, clothing and bed sheet to totally eliminate all nits around the house. After three weeks of natural treatment, my daughter finally free from head lice.  But for those who are busy and not have enough time to remove head lice manually, there is available over the counter medication to treat head lice, just ask your physician.

Gas Stomach Pain

My father-in-law has been hospitalize for 3 days due to trapped gas in his stomach.  It started with a stomach cramps.  He is complaining for stomach cramps for 3 days and we thought that it is just a simple stomach pain.  But he is started vomiting; we decided to go to the doctor for evaluation. The doctor told us that is may be indigestion, so he recommended taking medicine for stomach pain and indigestion.  But he still suffering from severe stomach pain and massive vomiting, so we take him to the ER and the doctor took x-ray and found out intestinal inflammation due to trap gas in the large and small intestine.  The doctor placed a tube though his nose into the stomach in order to pass the trap gas.

Of course, there are lifestyle modification to avoid excess gas and gas pain. Some of these modifications include; eat small meal or eat several small meals throughout the day instead of three or four large meals, avoid smoking, eat food slowly, and don’t eat while anxious or upset.

Some causes of excessive gas in the digestive tract are constipation, food intolerances, laxatives, antibiotics and other health condition such as diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease.  Thanks to God that Daddy has no serious condition, it is just a simple gas pain.
