TEETH DISORDERS

TEETHING

Some children have no problems at all when their first teeth break through. For others, it is quite an ordeal, and for their parents as well.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of teething are pain in the teeth and gums, drooling, redness and swelling of the gums, fever, changes in the stool, restlessness, fussiness, and difficult sleeping.

COMPLICATIONS

Teething can be a challenging event, even though there are no complications.

DIGESTIVE DISORDERS

COLIC

Colic is a condition found in babies from just after birth until three or four months of age, with crying, irritability, and what seems to be pain or cramps in the abdomen.

Symptoms

Colicky babies cry and appear to be in pain or distress. Gas may be part of the problem. They may cry incessantly, or only at certain times. The crying can be very distressing to parents, who feel helpless to do anything about it.

JOINT DISORDERS

Pain in the back may be caused by a strain or sprain, by misalignment of the spinal vertebrae, or by pelvic bones causing pressure on neves. Back tension and spasms may also be caused by emotional states such as anger or fear.

MENTAL DISORDERS

Fainting is a sudden brief loss of consciousness caused by a lowering of blood pressure to the brain. Fainting may result from physical or emotional causes. Common causative factors are blood loss, dehydration, pain, fright, shock, becoming overhead, exhaustion, arrhythmias of the heart, overexertion, and hyperventilation.

MENTAL DISORDER-(DIZZINESS)

Dizziness is a symptom more than an illness, but it is nonetheless quite annoying and can be debilitating. Dizziness may accompany fever, headache, and nausea in acute illnesses. It is also present with fainting, motion sickness and loss of balance.

MENTAL DISORDER-(GRIEF)

Grief is an emotional reaction to loss and disappointment, such as the loss of a loved one, the breaking up of a relationship, or losing a job.

Grief is characterized by weeping, wailing, sobbing, sighing, withdrawal, and depression. Rational thinking is usually overcome by emotion during acute grief.

MENTAL DISORDER-(INSOMNIA)

Insomnia is difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep to the point that it interferes with getting adequate rest. Insomnia may be caused by emotional distress, worry, nervous tension, too much thinking, pain, drugs, caffeine, overeating, or environments that are not conductive to sleeping.

MENTAL DISORDER-(HEADACHE)

Headache is simply pain in the head. It is more a symptom than a disease. Various kinds of headaches can occur, including tension headaches, migraine headaches and cluster headaches.

MENTAL DISORDER-(SHOCK)

Shock is inadequate circulation of blood and oxygen to organs or tissues because of blood loss or dehydration, weak action of the heart, or dilation of the peripheral blood vessels.

Septic shock comes from bacterial infection. Anaphylactic shock comes from allergic reactions. Electric shock comes from exposure to live electric current of lightning.Read More
