Stomach bug

5/17/2013

0 Comments

 
There is a stomach bug going around, giving diarrhea and "bad feelings".
If you get it, remember to drink lots of fluids, like pedialyte and gatorade, and to eat starchy foods, with nothing greasy or spicy.
You can try the BRATTY diet:
Bananas
Rice
Apples / Applesauce
Toast
Tea
Yogurt.
Please see your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain, high fever, blood in your stool or frequent vomiting and you can't keep down anything.
Otherwise, it should pass in a few days. You can take tylenol for pain and peptobismol or imodium to help with the diarrhea.

Chicken pox

I have seen a few patients with Chicken pox today.
The incubation period is about 2 weeks, so if you are going to get it, it will happen about 2 weeks after you have been exposed to it. Unfortunately chicken pox is contagious before the rash appears so you can catch it from someone before they even know that they have it.
It sometimes starts with fever and malaise, and then a few days later the rash appears. It is a generalised rash with fluid filled vesicles that eventually crust over. You are contagious until all the bumps are dried up, so please don't go to work or school until then.
You can take tylenol or motrin for the pain and fever and histal or benadryl for the itching. You can bathe as usual and use calamine or caladryl for the itching. Bathing with tamarind or sage leaves is said to help.
There is an anti-viral medication that your doctor can give you to help make the episode less severe if it is given in the first few days of the rash appearing, but you will still get better if you don't take the medication.

Cough and Cold

5/13/2013

There is a bad cold going around. 
Remember that colds are caused by viruses and so most of the time you shouldn't need antibiotics. See your doctor if you have a high fever or fever for more that two days, a bad cough with shortness of breath or chest pain or you feel extremely ill. It's best to stay home if you are coughing, you don't want to infect your coworkers or fellow students. 
Remember to cough or sneeze into your elbow to decrease the chances of spreading germs on your hands. Wash your hands often with soap and water and try to keep your hands from your face to decrease the chances of catching a cold from someone else.
Have a great day!

Talk TO each other, rather than ABOUT each other

2/16/2013

A lot fo the problems in the world would disappear if we would talk TO each other, rather than ABOUT each other.
- Quote from the Web.
Don't assume. Ask that person who offended you what they really meant to communicate before you assume the worst. Tell them how it made you feel, but do it calmly and with respect.
Share your weakness e.g. It really upsets me when people say/do xyz. Then share what you need e.g. it would really help me if you would say/do abc instead.

Do you strive to be the best parent you can be, but sometimes feel a little lost in how to strike the balance between raising your child to be an adult who is happy and secure, but also successful and God-fearing? The good news is that you don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to be “good enough”. Good-Enough Parenting is a Movie Therapy based parenting programme developed by John & Karen Louis that aims to show us how to identify and meet the core needs of our children while avoiding passing down your own dysfunctional traits, so that you can have a head start at being a “good enough parent”.
There will be classes held every Wednesday, starting February 13, 2013 at 7 pm, at the Bahamas International Church of Christ building on Thompson Boulevard for 5 weeks.
$50 will enroll you in the class and give you a copy of the Good Enough Parenting Book and a T-shirt.
Come and learn to be a Good Enough Parent. Join us on Wednesday!
Call 327-6407 for more info.
