July 31st, 2009 by admin

Influenza is commonly known as flu or viral flu. It is a contagious viral disease which is caused by RNA virus that is mostly found in birds. Influenza disease is the infection of respiratory tract and it mostly crops up in cold days. The symptoms of this disease are muscle pain, fever, headache, weakness and shiver. The disease is contagious and it spreads through medium of air, water, physical touch etc.

Coughing, sneezing is the most common transportation medium of influenza virus. The infection also spreads by the contact of body fluids or by touching contaminated vessels or clothes. So in order to avoid this infection it is recommended to avoid contact with the infected person.

As precautionary steps you should stay away from those people who are coughing or sneezing. Long exposure to moist or cold weather decreases your immune power and thus chances of getting infection gets higher. The person infected from this disease should be kept away from general public and should be given proper treatment and complete rest.

Paracetamol is considered as preliminary medication again this virus. This medicine is helpful in reducing fever. But after consultation with doctor you should get Relenza, it is specially used for the treatment of Influenza A and Influenza B. The Relenza prescription can also be bought from online Relenza stores, but it is advised that you buy it after consultation with your family doctor.

Tackling Asthma

July 31st, 2009 by admin

Asthma is a very common disease found in most adults and children. It is an inflammatory of the bronchial airways. This will lead to mucosal swelling and muscle contraction. The changes or the foreign particles which escape the nose filters may produce obstruction, chest tightness, cold, cough, sneezing. This causes shortness of breath and low oxygen supply to blood. The severity will differ according to the individual.

Most of the Asthma cases are subjected to allergies. Cat allergy is a major concern. And researchers say that more than half the cases are not due to allergies and the cause is yet to be found. Exposure to smoking increases the chances for an Asthma attack. Fetus may have asthma attack if the mother smokes during the pregnancy. The outdoor pollutants are known to trigger asthma attacks. Children who cough after running or crying is a obvious symptom of Asthma. Also giving a whistle like sound when a child exhales is a sign of asthma. Infants giving grunt noise while suckling.

Asthma attacks are often triggered by the viruses. Hence there is no power in giving an antibiotic. Every year, they should be vaccinated for flu. Else they have easy chances of getting flu when compared with others. When a person is affected with allergy, histamine is released which causes the swelling of lining of the airway, muscle contraction. Some of the common allergens are dust, feathers, pets and insects. But in most cases, food products are a subtle cause for asthma. It is incorrect to think that people with asthma will have psychological effects.

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways caused by allergens, irritants, infections. It is controllable in almost all the cases.

Children are more vulnerable for asthma attacks and it is important to keep them away from such irritants, infectious substances.

Always remember that Asthma is a controllable disease but if you think that there is something which is not normal then you should immediately consult your doctor or any online clinic which provides consultation of such disease.

Anti Aging Eye Cream

July 29th, 2009 by admin

A smooth and clear complexion is the first attribute of physical attractiveness. Face is the most exposed part and most difficult to maintain as it is vulnerable to cruel and oil absorbing harsh rays of sun and also subject to allergic reactions, acne, wrinkles injuries and spots. Dark circles below eyes manifests weakness and people lose their sparkness.

With course of time and age skin below the eyes looses elasticity which makes blood vessels noticeable. Puffiness and dark circles are also the characteristics of aging. This forces a negative impact as eyes looks tired and lids also looks as creased and wrinkled.

I praise modern technology here which provides specially formulated eye creams which are available now by different companies and are designed to improve skin elasticity, rich texture, removes blemishes and also removes permanent scars and spots.

The best eye cream helps to eliminate wrinkle,  soften the skin imperfections and removes them slowly leaving a clear and fresher face. In market different creams are available for different purposes . Some are only for wrinkles, some reduce puffiness, some for removing dark circles. Now the triple action creams are also available. This is because different people have different types of problems on face and one cannot just simply leave them to heal themselves.

Eye Cream Reviews are important to read before buying any such creams. It is important that your cream contain some important ingredients necessary for face such as glycolic compounds, vitamin A, antioxidant vitamin E etc.

Some eye creams also have hydroderm which absorbs collagen. These creams can also be used for moisturizing the skin. These days eye care has become a business because most people are having this kind of problems and anti-aging creams are getting momentum.

In the end I would suggest  that in order to avoid wrinkles and aging you must have a well-balanced diet full of vitamins, water in good quantity at least 3 liters a day and some anti –wrinkles reams which have important ingredients as I mentioned before. Use of natural products is always beneficial.

Fifth Disease

July 16th, 2009 by admin

Fifth disease is a very common disease found in the age group of people between 5 and 15 years. Children are more prone to this disease. Children will have a red rash on the face like a slapped cheek which will slowly spread to trunk, legs and hands. This is due to a viral infection and is not much complicated. Children can recover fast. This is caused by the parvovirus B19. It cannot be spread by animals to humans and vice versa.

The signs will start with low grade fever, head ache and cold like symptoms. After 3 or 4 days, the rash appears on the face. Both cheeks will start having the rash and it will slowly spread to all parts of the body. For some, it may be itchy. But most it may have a look like bruises. This will take about 3 to 4 weeks of time to get cure completely. An attack of the fifth disease may lead to swelling in joints, wrist. The parvovirus is contagious during its early stages. When the child develops mild symptoms, it is contagious. A sad note is that when pregnant ladies are infected, it may cause serious effects to the fetus and may even do not survive it. But if the mothers have had earlier infection of this virus, they will remain immune to the virus.

There is no vaccine against this disease. The virus is contagious in its early stages and hence cannot avoid spreading. Practicing good hygiene is the only solution. Try to have hand washes frequently. Have a clean and green atmosphere around you. A shocking statistics reveal that around 60% of the world population is being infected by this virus in their early ages. There is no proper medicine as this itself is not a complicated one.
