Unexplained weight loss
Unexplained weight loss has many causes — some serious. Find out when losing weight without trying calls for a medical evaluation.
Toothache: First aid
Until you see a dentist, use floss to remove any food particles, take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever, and apply an OTC antiseptic to the gum area.
Too sick to exercise?
The common cold doesn't have to keep you on the sidelines. Mild to moderate exercise is usually OK if your symptoms are all above the neck, such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing or minor sore throat. However, if your symptoms are below the neck, such as chest congestion, a hacking cough or upset stomach, delay your workout. And don't exercise if you have a fever, fatigue, widespread muscle aches or a contagious illness.
