How can I tell if my child has eczema?

Here's a trick you can use to diagnose eczema: "Draw" on your child's arm with a fingernail. After about ten seconds, the red line will turn white. Really allergic kids will get a "wheal and flare" response, where it goes white first, then gets red and puffy like a linear hive along the line of the scratch.

When the appendix gets inflamed, it can burst, potentially poisoning the abdomen and bloodstream, which is life threatening. So it's important to know the difference between appendicitis and suffering from an overdose of birthday cake. With appendicitis, which is rare in youngsters under two, your child may feel pain around the belly button.

Over a few hours, it will move to the lower right part of the belly. He won't want to move at all, because any kind of movement will hurt. Ask him to jump up and down (or help him if he's younger); if he absolutely can't, it's likely an inflamed appendix, and you need to get to the hospital.

Surgery is typically done laparoscopically (with a small incision) and calls for a one- to two-day hospital stay.

To check for signs of meningitis, lay your child flat on a bed or couch or on the floor, and lift her knees up. If her head pops up too, she is instinctively trying to relieve the pressure off her meninges by curling her spine. The same thing happens if you lift her head up: Her knees will pop up, so her spine stays curled rather than extended.

(The child automatically moves to relieve the pain.) This is a useful sign, but if it's not there, your child still could have meningitis. Use your parental instinct here. If the kid just does not look right, call your doc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
