Q. I've had a headache all day, and I want it gone :( but I can't swallow pills and I already took baby asprin in the morning, and I took some liquid childrens medicine almost two hours ago. but it still won't go away. it's at bay right now, like it doesn't hurt as much but it's still bothering me a lot. and I can feel it like behind my right eye. and tips or remedies are appreciated. thanks in advance!
A. IHave you seen an orthodontist/dentist to be examined for TMJ/TMD. Tension stress from your TM joint in your jaw can make you sickly with migraines if out of place even a smidge.I got it from a jolt to my head and the tmj muscles stretched out causing sickening headaches, face pain and ear aches. Please check even with your doctor about it.
Many things can trigger a HEADACHES/MIGRAINES: using your arm in an awkward way (bowling) when you don't normally do that, lack of food (skipping meals), head resting in a hairdressers sink, going to a concert with light show, video game screen with fast movements & flashing lights, staring in the light (sun) constantly on your eyes...etc.
You may want to check your settings on all your digital items that you are using. Each device you use has a warning that MANY COMPLETELY IGNORE. Go under your settings for your screen settings on your computer, laptops, televisions, monitors, digital games, etc. AND LOWER THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE SCREEN.
Also, don't forget that all these items are a heat source and depending on how close you are to the item you are using, you are affecting your personal body sources. (ie. flickering lights affect the eyes, laptops on laps affect fluids. etc.)
You may be completely dehydrated if you aren't drinking adequates amounts of water daily. Here's a guide to help you figure out how much water you require daily for your weight.
? Your Weight Times (.5) Equals Divided By 8oz (or 1 Cup) Equals # Cups of Water/Day
� 150lbs x .5 = 75/8 = 9 Cups of Water/day
� 175lbs x .5 = /8 = 11 Cups of Water/day
� 200lbs x .5 = 100/8 = 12.5 Cups Water/day
If you take your medication with an extra caffeine drink, it will hit your system faster, but that only means enough to swallow the medication and wash it down. It does not mean drink an entire can or you will suffer from extreme caffeine withdrawal (rebound migraines).
1. I used to use a combination of medications which included 400mg Ibuprofen 4x a day with food. This takes the swelling and inflammation down. DO NOT exceed1600mg in one day and you may need prilosec for stomach protection as ALL ANTI INFLAMMATORIES are difficult on the stomach. ***You can use Tylenol with Ibuprofen and Aspirin watch for daily maximums & don't exceed.
2. Robaxacet is Tylenol (acetominophen) combined with methocarbonal (muscle relaxant)...this also comes with codeine on request from the pharmacist. This only relaxes any tight muscles around the pain and helps reduce some pain. You can use Robaxacet with Ibuprofen and Aspirin, BUT NOT Tylenol as it's already an ingredient in this pill.
3. Robaxacyl is Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) combines with methocarbonal (muscle relaxant)...this has a blood thinning active ingredient and isn't ideal for anyone under age 16 years or complications with blood pressure, ailments, etc. This both takes down the inflammation as well as treats the pain.You can use Robaxacyl with Ibuprofen and Tylenol, BUT NOT Aspirin as it's already an ingredient in this pill.

4. Aleve is a Nonsteroidal Anti Inflammatory (Naproxen) which will helps reduce the inflammation, and as the inflammation decreases so does the pain; BUT you CANNOT mix this drug with any of the above mentioned safely.
5. Dynamint has been used on horses legs for years, but it does an amazing job on sore neck muscles. It's ingredients are Peppermint Oil, Eucalyptus Oil , Tea Tree Oil and Calendula Oil.
6. Deep Cold Gold is an alternative rub that works very well on tight aching tendons on your upper shoulders, neck and TMJ joints.
When I was 16 years old I had severe tension headaches that made the ligament behind my ear pop out like a big ole bump. The doctor prescribed a low dose of Elavil (amitryptaline) & it was gone within days. The Elavil in high doses is used for depression but they use it for car accidents because it relaxes the muscles from whiplash.
If you experience a headache with ANY LOSS OF WEAKNESS, SLURRING, IMBALANCE or FEVER, then you need to seek medical attention immediately for a consult to make sure there isn't something more serious going on.

what is the difference between pediatric dentists and adult dentist?
Q. I took my three year old child to an adult dentist for a cleaning and exrays because the cost of the pediatric dentist was significantly higher. They found out that she has two cavities. The dentist said that he could take care of her their in his office, but he does not specialize in childrens teeth. I am wondering what are the risks involved to take a child to an adult dentist? Could he permanantly damage her adult teeth that have not formed yet? Are the anethetics the same?
A. All dentists are taught and trained in dental school to treat both children's teeth and adult teeth so a general dentist will not be more likely to damage children's teeth as stated by the other posters. The main difference between the two is the special training pediatric dentists have to handle things like behavioral problems in the child patient and special needs children. Some dentists just do not like to treat children because it takes much more patience and a certain bedside manner and pediatric dentists excel in those areas. Any dental work a child needs can be handle by an adult dentist as long as the child cooperates. Everything used on adult teeth can be used on children's teeth and anesthetics as well.
Do steel crowns on kids have to be replaced with porcelain?
Q. The dentist says that all the steel crowns have to be replaced on my 15 year old twins. (I say if it isn't broke, don't fix it.) But they say that it messes up their gums. Is that true? Should I let them do it? Should I wait until they are older?
A. What they are saying is true.
Are the stainless steel crowns on baby teeth? Or permanent teeth?
The stainless steel is USUALLY only used on baby teeth, therefore once the tooth exfoliates, the crown is gone. But if it was done on a permanent tooth, the porcelain crown should be done.
It can be an irritant to your childrens gums. Also, the stainless steel crowns are not as strong/permanent. They will eventually decay and break off, and may result in the loss of that tooth down the road. Its best to fix it now, in order to save the heartache later.
To the poster below me - it is AMALGAM you are talking about - the metal fillings. That isn't what she is asking about. A metal filling and steel crown are too different things.

When to start taking my baby to the dentist?
Q. My son is 10 months...well almost, and he has 4 teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom, we brush them every night before bed (well if he lets me) with the baby finger brush and toothpaste (its ok to swallow) When should i start to take him to see a dentist? Has anyone taken there child, maybe younger than 10 months?
A. Your son is ready to see the dentist. I recommend that children see the dentist when the first teeth come out or by the age of 1. There are alot of things new mothers do not know about children's dental care. For instance, you should not leave a bottle with milk or juice with the baby at night if they have teeth as they will begin to decay very quickly. Also, if using toothpaste, use only childrens toothpaste because adult toothpaste contains fluoride which if swallowed, will cause abnormal development of the adult teeth.
