Question
I swallowed several mothfuls, is this a problem? I have kidney pain since doing this. How to treat it. I used it for candidiasis, swelling in both feet, bloating, and I had a toothache and it has gone. Is there a use by date? How long should I keep a bottle?

Answer

This is a gargling agent only.  It is not recommended to swallow.  If you are having pain we would recommend you contact your physician.  There is generally a 3 year shelf life from the time it is opened.

Question
I was wondering what is the difference between the basic cervical foam support pillow or econo-wave foam support pillow I moved about 1 year ago and lost my pillow that I was using! I went to the chiropractor all the time and got it from there. I think it looks like the econo-wave pillow.

Answer
The difference in these pillows is that the Econo-Wave pillow's waved surface provides even support and allows air to circulate, while soothing your neck with support from the dual lobes while the smooth surface of the basic pillow does not have the textured surface allowing the circulation.

Dear Vicky:

Thank you for your inquiry. Compression supports are used to keep the joints in proper alignment as well as to provide additional support during the rehab period. Extensive use of compression supports may inhibit the time required for proper rehabilitation of affected muscles and tissues.

If you are looking for overall support (lumbar and cervical support), the Cincher is a good option: http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/11322/new_prod_full.asp

If you are looking for more upper-body (clavicle and cervical support), the Universal Posture and Clavicle Support is a good option: http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/3571/new_prod_full.asp

Question
hi, my 6 year old son uses a holding chamber with a double valve to manage his asthma with salbutamol and occasionally fluticasone propionate. after a recent flare up, including a very short trip to hospital 4 hours, not admitted my family is giving me a lot of grief about not having a nebuliser. i have tried to find reference materials on the web about nebulisers being a superior method of delivery for his drugs but i have found not one article supporting this. are you able to give me some reasons other than personal reference why a patient would be better off using a nebuliser? thank you in advance, much appreciated. nice website, maggie

Answer

We do not have an exact answer for you, the delivery of medication is relative.  Generally the hand-held puff inhalers used with holding chambers are for more of an emergent situation where the medication is needed urgently.  If the child uses the medication daily as routine, nebulizers deliver a more direct stream of medication in liquid form into the mouth which also moistens the air passages and makes it easier to breathe.

Nebulizers are used more often than not for daily routine treatments while again inhalers are for more emergent situations.

I have attached some links below on articles showing different views on nebulizer versus inhaler treatments:
