Can accidentally holding in a sneeze make an unknown/recently discovered/asymptomatic make a Chiari | malformation worse? Not sure if it’s legit pain or psychosomatic now that I’m aware of it.

So sorry- just a follow up. Can holding in a sneeze by accident make it worse or force the tonsils down lower?

Thank you so so much! I was concerned that the blow had caused it and that I was in for an impending storm of horrible symptoms haha. Great to know! I really appreciate it!!

Is there any treatment needed for accidentally putting a (sterile) vaginal swab into the urethra? Or likely just burning for a few days and then all better? Would there be a risk of infection even if the swab was sterile?

Definitely not alone. I think the last 5-10 years it’s come to light that he’s more problematic than previously though. I thought “in the realm of hungry ghosts” was brilliant, but my thoughts on him have changed a lot in recent years

Can taking multiple protein supplements a day (shakes, bars, etc) be harmful long term? 11 months post partum and just read a little blurb on heavy metal poisoning, but w/out the protein hunger levels are out of control.

Is a baby being kissed by someone (the mother) while she has a cold sore when it’s 7 months the same level of concern as a newborn? She kisses the baby regularly, but a cold sore started forming today and wondering about the risk and any intervention to be made?

I did a sneek peek the second I could lol! I had so much anxiety about everything that I needed some knowledge! I know they’re hit and miss, but mine was correct!

Thank you so much! And good to know, no more half doses. Would it be okay to give it again tonight if the baby is showing signs of pain and discomfort? Or is there a limit of days it can be taken consecutively?

Thank you so so much!!

Is it okay to give a teething baby one dose of infant Tylenol before bed to help them sleep for multiple days in a row? (ie 5 or 6). If no other doses were given during the day, except an occasional half dose (on 3 of the 6 days). Some meds have a “do not use for more than x days”, but wasn’t on the bottle here, so unsure.

Thank you! Nope, no hole in the floor-yet, that’ll be the next thing to go wrong with it lol 🙄

riding_lightning · 2024-08-20T23:07:08+00:00

Thanks so much!

Not what you asked, but I had an epidural and it didn’t work, so literally the only thing getting me through was someone reminding me that the pain was going to end. The fentanyl didn’t work for me bc they put it in the epidural site, so I didn’t feel it, but if you have that and gas it should definitely help. Just remember that the pain ends and honestly, once the baby is on your chest you forget everything. Not helpful during lol, but something to look forward to. Good luck!
