As parents you should be aware of the common infectious diseases prevalent in children and know when to seek medical help. Here are a few common childhood infectious diseases that you need to look out for:

Stomach Flu: If your little one is complaining of stomach pain it might not be just another excuse to bunk school but may be an indication of gastroenteritis, commonly referred to as the stomach flu. It is usually caused by viruses such as rotavirus or norovirus. It leads to diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes fever.

Do you feel embarrassed about the sweat stains under your arms? Does it hamper your confidence while being a part of a business or social gathering?

People suffering from hyperhidrosis can find few daily tasks difficult. In some severe cases people suffering from hyperhidrosis may find it difficult to hold a pen or even grip a car steering.

Causes of Excessive Sweating are:

Neurologic, endocrine, infectious and other systemic diseases can trigger hyperhidrosis, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions may also cause hyperhidrosis, but people who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat regardless of their mood or weather.

Treatment

After analyzing the causes and triggers of hyperhidrosis, your doctor can suggest a judicious treatment and most people suffering from this annoying disorder can achieve great results and improved quality of life.
Botox, usually associated with cosmetic treatments like wrinkle and fine line reduction is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. Botox injection uses botulinum toxin that blocks the nerve signals responsible for sweating, hence stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. Botox injection is mostly successful when excessive sweating is confined to one area of the body. The underarms, particularly respond well.

The procedure is quick and simple. The area that needs to be treated is coated with numbing cream one hour prior to taking the injection. The physician then will clean the area and inject with tiny needles. Temporary bruising, swelling or tenderness may be noticed after the procedure. It typically takes five days to start seeing the results partially and two weeks to see full results.

Botox treatment is not recommended for women who are pregnant or for people with history of neuromuscular disorders.
