Mononucleosis is an infectious disease spread by physical contact. Rest and fluids can reduce the severity and longevity of symptoms.

Mononucleosis

Infectious mononucleosis commonly referred to as just ‘mono,' is known to the general public as "the kissing disease" – due to the way it's mostly transmitted. The infectious Epstein-Barr virus that carries mono resides in the sufferer's saliva. While it is most commonly contracted through kissing, it is also an aerial threat whenever a sufferer sneezes or coughs, as well as a frequent resident of the glasses and cutlery previously used by those infected by it. In spite of popular belief, mononucleosis is much less contagious than most infectious diseases, such as the common cold.

&nbsp;
The infection mostly goes by unnoticed in younger children, but certain disadvantages are prone to showing in adolescents and young adults. The most common symptoms of mono are fatigue, sore/strep throat that doesn't improve with treatment, fever, headaches, tonsil swelling, spleen swelling, skin rashes and lymph node swelling in the neck and armpit areas.

&nbsp;
The infrequent complications of untreated mono can have grave consequences, including spleen rupture, jaundice, hepatitis, anemia, tonsil swelling that blocks breathing, nervous system diseases (meningitis, encephalitis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome), thrombocytopenia and heart problems such as myocarditis. Mononucleosis is usually easy to treat, with proper rest, healthy nutrition and increased fluid intake. Antibiotics are generally not recommended against mono due to their ineffectiveness against viral infections.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Often, after trauma to the face or eye region, the tissue around the eye bruises and a black eye forms. Generally, black eye treatments involve simple home treatments and do not require medical intervention.

As we age, cartilage (a cushion that protects bones from friction) gradually deteriorates, leaving the hip prone to damage and injury, and pain.

A hiatal hernia describes the abdominal organs slipping through the diaphragm into the middle compartment of the chest.

hiatal hernia

A hernia is formed when an internal organ pushes through another part of the body, such as a muscle wall. A hernia forms when there is muscle weakness and extra strain. Being pregnant, constipated, gaining weight, persistent coughing and lifting a heavy weight can all lead to a hernia. A painful lump may be visible, as well as feeling pressure in the area, or there may be no visible symptoms, depending on the type of a hernia.

&nbsp;

An Inguinal hernia is the most common type. The Inguinal canal is the area of the groin that holds the uterus, in women, and holds the spermatic cord, and by extension, the testes, in men. In men, this area is specifically prone to weakness, and a hernia may develop. A Hiatal hernia is formed when a part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm, and into the chest. An umbilical hernia is quite common in children; the intestines may push against the abdominal wall. Surgery may be required.

Lighter or white patches on the skin are relatively common. Even people without a history of skin conditions can experience white skin patches caused by dead skin cells or proteins trapped just under the top layer of skin. Depigmentation or color loss -- a loss of melanin -- can also cause this symptom.

Your skin changes over time. Stress, lifestyle decisions, and the sun can make it feel tired and rough, not to mention numerous skin conditions that can affect nearly all of us. That's why skin treatments are not ‘one size fits all.' If you have been struggling with skin issues, and creams and antibiotics aren't helpful - or if you can't tolerate side effects of medicine - you could consider treatments that are provided by professional dermatologists.

 

From general dermatology services to special laser procedures, there is a treatment that can significantly improve your skin. Some of the most popular skin conditions that can be successfully treated include acne, contact dermatitis, skin lupus, connective tissue diseases, genetic disorder, congenital skin problems, blistering diseases, and T-cell lymphoma, to name a few.

 

Several types of medical procedures - for example, light therapy and chemical peels - may be helpful. Moreover, acne bacteria can be killed with heat energy and pulsing light. Special treatments also shrink oil glands to decrease oil production.

The common cold is a viral infection that affects the throat, nose, and sinuses. Symptoms usually start two or three days after the person comes into contact with the virus.

Breathing is something most of us take for granted. However, if you have difficulties breathing or suffer from certain diseases, you can benefit from respiratory therapy. It usually includes diagnostic procedures, critical care procedures (for example, asthma management and ventilation management), and therapeutic procedures.

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of respiratory problems. Smokers and people with chronic lung illnesses are at higher risk of developing a disease. Most often, antibiotics can effectively treat infections.

Your doctor can also prescribe specific therapeutic devices for your respiratory condition, for example, humidifiers, ventilators, suction equipment, and oximeters. These are necessary for people who have difficulty breathing on their own.

If you are on home oxygen therapy, special equipment can tell whether your oxygen saturation is adequate. You should also use special devices to monitor and record your condition regularly. Your doctor will be able to adjust your treatment plan based on this data.

Piriformis syndrome occurs when this muscle, deep in the buttock, becomes swollen, inflamed or ‘tight’ and compresses the sciatic nerve.

Bronchitis causes swelling of the bronchial tubes, inflammation, and infection. Some home remedies can help.

Home Remedies for Bronchitis

Bronchitis is a disease that occurs in the respiratory system, when the mucus membrane in the lungs’ bronchial passage become inflamed, causing a variety of symptoms to occur. As the inflamed membrane grows, breathing becomes increasingly difficult and coughing increases. Bronchitis may be present in an acute state, when it lasts for less than three weeks; on the contrary, it is chronic if it lasts for more than three months or more in the span of two years.

In both cases, symptoms will be similar, and may include a cough that is accompanied by mucus of varying color. In some cases, blood may also be present. Fatigue usually occurs alongside bronchitis, as does shortness of breath. Chest discomfort is also a frequent symptom, and fever may also occur in some cases. Treatment includes consuming plenty of fluids to make mucus more runny, as well as aspirin to treat inflammation as well as fever. If your bronchitis is chronic, you may be prescribed antibiotics.

Liver pain is felt in the upper right area of the abdomen, just below the ribs. The liver is an organ that detoxifies. If you experience pain, you might have an underlying health issue.

liver pain

The liver is a vital organ located in the abdomen right above the stomach. It is the heaviest internal organ, weighing an average of 3 lbs. Its job is to regulate the chemical levels in the blood and to excrete bile, ridding the body of waste. The liver has hundreds of important functions including detoxification of the blood, producing cholesterol, producing certain proteins for blood plasma, storing glycogen, and many others.

The liver is a dark red gland that consists of two lobes. It holds about 13% of the body's blood at once, receiving blood from the stomach and intestines, cleaning it out, and passing it through to the rest of the body. The liver supports almost every other organ in the body

Hepatitis is a condition in which the liver tissue is inflamed. The cause is usually viral and includes hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Other threats to the liver include excess toxins in the bloodstream, alcohol abuse, and excess drug use (paracetamol among others).
