Doctor said that for sure the ear infections are due to the constant use of the pool. It is the fourth year in a row that we have a swimming pool at home and this never happened, so, what is different this …

My daughter has been complaining about tummy ache since Sunday night. It is not a constant pain and she only remembers it when she wants me to be near her or when she’s going to school. I have not paid much attention to it since there are no other symptoms but I’m getting tired of hearing “I have tummy ache”. …

My son sometimes call me on his cell phone just to say hi and I really enjoy hearing his voice and knowing that he is just fine. However I really don’t like that he uses the cell phone.

My daughter will be six in March and still sucks her thumb. Sucking her thumb really calms her down and it’s really a comfort for her to be able to do so. She was a baby that never wanted a pacifier and she only started thumb sucking at the age of 2,5 years. I remember quite well that it was …

Who said the acne only happens to teens? Well, I’m 40 years old and I still get acne on my chin. On one hand it makes me happy, I’m still a teenager… on the other end I think, when will this stop happening.

I consulted a dermatologist that told me that this is a hormonal problem, nothing serious of course …

Being at home with a medical leave is doing me so good. For 22 years I worked without stopping (only for the two pregnancies leaves) and I feel I am a housewife now.

My husband has been a very healthy men over the years. His analyses are always fine except from time to time high levels of uric acid (Gout) that are easily treated with some appropriated pills.
