Re: My child seems to have a constant cold. What can I do?

You have a really good question about wanting to know why your child feels like he's sick all the time. I bet many parents can sympathize with you on this one. It seems like all winter long kids are sick and that actually might be true. The fact is that adults have about 2-3 colds a year and kids catch 8-12 kids a year packing in to about half the year. So you will feel like they get sick, then they get over it, and then they get sick again, and it's because their immune systems aren't as mature...

Occasionally there are other illnesses that can cause it and the third most common one is a fungal infec...

Re: Is my lower back pain from my epidural?

Kinesta, you asked a really good question about epidurals and having back pain after you've delivered. It's normal after you've gotten an epidural to have a little bit of localized pain where they inserted the needle. It's just like your IV site. It might hurt a little bit because something sharp was inserted there. But it shouldn't last longer than a day or so. If you have chronic back problems after having your baby it's usually attributed to the fact that you had a baby because during the pre...
