Ocular Allergy

I have been writing about ocular (eye) allergy for quite sometime. Some causes for it are:
  1. Pollens
  2. Dust
  3. Weeds
  4. Pet dander
  5. Grass
Some allergies are seasonal too in the sense that your eyes will be affected the most during that season. There are treatments for allergies but allergies are NEVER CURABLE is the hard fact. They are like common cold and can only be controlled through medicines. I am struggling with the same too. Also whenever you have to use eye drops, consult the doctor and then only use it. Do not use eye drops without proper prescription or get them OTC. Most of the eye drops for allergies have steroids in them. The prolonged use of these eye drops with steroids will cause glaucoma and cataract. So better prevent then feel sorry.

Another important note is that the eye drops without steroids are quite expensive. So consult the ophthalmologist before you do anything. Eyes are vital for us and it is not like any other organ like hands or legs. So we need to be doubly careful before using any type of eye drops.

Cough relief for infants using home medicine

Using home medicine severe chest phlegm, dry cough and cold can be relieved very quickly. I have tried it for my baby and it has worked very well. Instead of using Alopathy medicines, you can try this at home.

Take 2 leaves of Tymol seeds and 2 leaves of holy basil and boil them in little water for couple of minutes. The water level reduces after few minutes. Remove the leaves and add half tea spoon of honey to the mix. Stir well and feed it to infants.

This gives instantaneous relief where the baby throws up phlegm by vomiting. You can do the same for 3 to 4 times in a day. I have tried it and it has worked well for my baby.

Dry eyes

I have this dry eyes syndrome for past couple of years for which I had often visited a General Physician or a eye clinic. Staring at the monitor for long hours, I actually forget to blink or I don't know what is really happening to my eyes. At the end I am left with red eyes and itchiness all over my eyes. It's a persistent dryness, scratching and burning in my eyes and these are signs of dry eye syndrome.

In dry eye syndrome, the eye doesn't produce enough tears, or the tears have a chemical composition that causes them to evaporate too quickly.

I have been advised by doctor to use TearPlus solution to prevent the eyes from being dry. This solution produces artificial tears in my eyes. I checked my eyes for any power/number. well, am doing fine there. It's just this eye irritation actually irritates me. I also wear anti glare glasses but in vain. Still I often get red eyes. I guess am paying the price of staring at the monitor all day through and also at nights.

These drops can reduce or eliminate the redness temporarily, but they don't treat the cause of the redness, whether it's dryness, environmental irritation, or some other problem.

Finally after having said all these, am still struggling to get away with this redness.

2nd month vaccination for my baby

I got my baby injected with 6 in 1 vaccination injection last week. Oh we have improved so much in medical science that unlike early years we only have one injection for the infant which covers 6 illnesses.

In the second month the babies are given the first dose of this 6 in 1 injection plus some optional vaccination injections if the parents feel necessary.

When my princess was new born, she had Hepatitis B - 1st dose and BCG vaccination on her arms. I gave my baby the following in her 2nd month:

1. Hepatitis B - 2nd dose
2. Diphtheria - 1st dose
3. Pertussis - 1st dose
4. Tetanus - 1st dose
5. Poliomyelitis - 1st dose
6. Hib influenza B

I also gave another optional vaccination Rotarix - 1st oral dose for preventing the infant from diahorrea.

Going out with my Baby

Do you have a young baby in hand and you need to go out with her/him?

May be the below things should help you in packing stuffs for the baby. This is what I do when I pack up things for my new born baby girl.. Hope this helps.

1. Have a comfortable carry bag to have all the things in here
2. Take 2 diapers if your outing is less than 5 hrs of time
3. Take 2 bottles of expressed milk or formula milk. Let the formula milk be luke warm. You can also store this milk in the bottle temperature maintaining kit
4. Have a spare dress for your baby just incase she regurgitates quite often and wets her dress
5. Take dry tissues - I generally take the whole box instead of stripping few tissues from the box
6. Take wet tissues - If the baby poops in the diaper during your travel, you cannot search for water everywhere. Wet tissues do the trick. Again, I take the whole box
7. Pacifier/soother - I consider this to be very important simply because not everyone around is tolerant if babies cry. To keep the baby pacified and also make the environment not look at us when she cries her lungs out, pacifier will be of first hand help
8. Rattler - Just to play with the baby if she gets uncomfortable in the new place
9. Nappy rash cream - When you change the diapers

These are what I carry whenever I go out for a short period with my baby.

You can try this too. Happy motherhood!

Regular Health Mistakes

I received an article which I felt is useful to everyone around the world.

All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.

Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.

Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.

Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.

Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.

High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.

Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.

Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support

Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.

Infant medicines

Let me tell you honestly. Being a mother is very demanding and challenging. Especially when the infants fall sick, we will be put into high pressure, stress and tension.. Totally its gruelling.

I wanted to point out few frequent illnesses that babies face during the initial few months and the remedy for the same. You may wonder if I am a physician to suggest medicines; well, it does not work that way. Simply because infants cannot consume heavy medicines.

Am going to suggest some OTC (over the counter) drugs that help in the relief.

1) When the infants suffer from terrible cold, we can do the following:
a) Take the baby to the bathroom, open hot water and let the steam come from it. Have the baby be around the steam for 15 minutes. The baby will soon recover if we do this few times
b) In the nostrils of the baby, instill a drop of salt water. Use a suction tube and grab all the stuffs from the nostrils. This way the mucus can be removed and the baby will feel relieved

2) When the infant suffers from wind pain in the stomach, we can do the following:
a) OTC we get the Infant colic drops "Dentinox". We can mix 2.5 ml of this medicine and mix in the milk and feed the baby 6 times a day and not more than that. This will relieve the wind pain to a great extent. I took my baby to the doctor and she had suggested this medicine and its available OTC and hence we need not consult the doctor for windpain
b) You can also give woodward's gripe water 6 times a day by feeding the infant with 5 ml of it each time

Check this site for more information on how to handle infants' illnesses. I will keep posting on this area.

In any case, check with your pediatrician and confirm the above.

Beauty tips - Olive oil

Hey guys,

I just read few important beauty tips about using olive oil. I was stunned about its properties.
I am applying the oil every night in my face and then the next morning I wash.

After applying for two days itself, I could see my face glittering literally. So here are the other uses of olive oil. I am also using this for my daughter to remove the cradle caps.

1. A mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vinegar, & 1/4 cup water used as a night cream will make your skin glow. The olive oil softens and moisturizes and the vinegar lightens discolorations, kills bacteria and loosens dead skin cells. Splash water on your face before applying.

2. Use it as a cleansing cream if your skin is dry.

3. For a facial, wet face thoroughly, then massage olive oil into your skin. Use about a half teaspoon of sugar and scrub your face with that, then wipe off gently with a warm, wet cloth until the sugar is all gone.

4. Use olive oil on your feet with clean white cotton socks. Helps to soften up you feet and it absorbs better than baby oil.

5. It seems when you pour olive oil out there is always a drip, so wipe it uap with your hand and rub it in to your elbows. Wonderful softening properties.

6. Use olive oil as bath oil. Two to three tablespoons will do the trick.

7. Use olive oil for your hair. Not only does it condition, but it also gets rid of the frizz. Put a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & apply it to dry hair.

Also you can apply johnson's baby milk cream at nights in your face. This really softens the skin and I am actually loving it. I apply it for my baby followed by mine. Howzzat.. :)
