How can you tell the difference between a cold sore and dry cracked lips?
Answer:
does it matter?
treat each lip as if it is infected and then you will always be safe.
When you've had them both...
And if your rich a s s is not satisfied with our answers, look for it yourself...The answers are all at your fingertips
"Lazy" YEAH, THE NAME FITS...
If you had dry cracked lips, I'd offer you my chap stick.
cold sore is round and red, cracked lips are lines and usually all over.
Cold sore or Herpes Simples Virus looks like a blister and it throbs and takes a long to me to go away .

Cracked lips are flaky peely and hurt all over.http://www.drdonnica.com/faqs/00007348.h...
a cold sore is a red, raised, distinguished bump around the lip area..or on the lip. Chapped/cracked lips are not usually raised or bumpy. Check out www.webmd.com
well if YOUR the one with the coldsore/chapped lips, rub your finger accross your lip, your lip will feel weird when its rubbed if you have a coldsore.
A cold sore isn't on your lips.The sores typically appear right on the lip line or just outside of your lips. It wont look like a zit or turn white. You'll know it when you see it.
What are cold sores?
Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are clusters of small blisters on the lip and outer edge of the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red and inflamed. The blisters can break open, weep a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. Complete healing may take 7 to 10 days.
A cold sore is a fever blister that one usually gets when there is inner fever in the body (you don't have to have a temperature to get a cold sore). Dry cracked lips are chapped lips, they LOOK cracked. A cold sore is often in a corner of the mouth or on the bottom lip.
a cold sore feels sort of tingly at first.
dry cracked lips hurt and burn.
How can you tell if you're dehydrated?
I've had diarrhea, or however you spell it, for about 5 days now, and I haven't really been eating or drinking much of anything, so how do I know if I'm dehydrated or not? I need to know what to drink and eat to help me get over it, but I've tried almost everything.
Answer:
All of the answers so far are symptoms that occur with dehydration. The real answer is if you are urinating.... YOU will not if you are dehydrated. So the question is how much have you urinated during the last 24 hours. The other symptoms are correct.... you may have dry muccous membranes... eyes, nose mouth... you may have reduced skin turgor etc... sockets of eyes may appear suken in. but the main issue is if you are producing urine.... and how much.... i would suggest going and getting IV fluids you will feel better overall and you can die from dehydration
have cracked lips
You are thirsty more than usual
Have dry throat
Sorethroat
cracking skin
Blurry eyesight
having diarhhea one time is enough to say you are dehydrated soAlright to pretty much take away dehydration drink gatorade or a lot of friggin water until you piss out clear white urine
Sounds like you definitely need some fluids. Can you pinch the skin on your arm, and does it stay straight up for a second, stays pinched together, that can tell you if your dehydrated, your skin should stay flexible. Try drinking some gingerale. It usually stays down and the ginger and carbonation helps ease the stomach. You might want to see the doctor, just in case. Good luck and I hope you feel better.
Pull your skin up on your arm and if snaps back fast then your hydratedif it doesnt you are getting dehydrated and you need to drink as much liquid down as possible. Try gingerale. Its the best thing for your stomach at this time. Go on the brats diet for a couple days. bananas, toast, Saltines.
My husband drinks that pedialyte that they have for kids. It's supposed to be like replacing all the fluids your body has lost but in additon gives you vitamins and minerals that you need when you aren't eating or keeping anything down.

How can you tell if your child has diabetes?
Answer:
Syptoms of diabetes include:Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision (from www.diabetes.org, website of the American Diabetes Association)If you have one or more of these symptoms, or are concerned that you might have diabetes, you should see your doctor, who can perform bloodwork to determine if you do. Take your hild to the doctor if you are at all concerned about this or have any suspicions at all. The doctor can perform a Glucose Tolerance TEst and a blood glucose test and/or Hemoglobin A1c, to determine if he/she has diabetes, and what treatment should be started. Good Luck!
My mother got suspicious when I would take large cups (32 oz) of water to bed with me (when I was only 7). I would then sleepwalk at night trying to find the bathroom. Your child may also be lethargic and irritable.Those are the main symptoms -but not the only ones.
If you truly suspect diabetes - take your child to the doctor immediately. Even if it isn't diabetes, it could be something else that causes other major problems - such as your child becoming dehydrated.
You really need to see a doctor to have this properly diagnosed.
If you notice that your child is drinking large amounts of liquids and urinating more than usual and extremely thirsty and tired you should make sure he/she is tested for diabetes. Good luck.
From a A1C Blood test
If parents has diabetes, you should aware that your child might get it too..
How can you tell if you have a blood clot in your brain?
I would liek to the know the symptoms if any please. This would be of much help. Thank you!
Answer:
If it's partially occluding blood flow you will feel confusion, slower than usual thinking, there may be personality changes, headaches that comne %26 go, mild paralysis, brief episodes of extensive paralysis, transitory difficulty speaking (dysphasia), seizures and if it's a full occlusion, stroke.
I believe that a blod clot in the brain is a Stroke. So if you do a Google search on strokes you should find your answer.
You will not need to tell....it will tell you. Death would be a symptom. (before that any symptoms would be brief and need attending to immediately)
a high blood pressure, major problems with vision, terrible headaches, nausea and vomiting-of course being pg can cause these symptoms also, as can 100 other diseases. If you have chronic headaches or migraines take Feverfew every day, it is a herb you can get at the health food store. and it will cure your headaches
There is different symptoms . If you have a moving clot, this is a stroke, you could have dizziness, pain, blurred vision, problems with moving feet, or controlling arms and hands, a ct scan of brain would be helpful. But unless diagnosed with this, don`t worry with it, cause it could be something else, check with your doctor. Nausea and vomiting also can occur. God Bless !
As another person stated, look up Stroke on the internet for symptoms. Could be headache, numbness in limbs or limbs on one side, blurred vision, confusion, difficulty speaking or forming words. An MRI would be done at the hospital, and/or a spinal tap to be sure.
I put this together using software I developed... hope it helps!Click this Link!http://www.infogenome.net/geno-infogenom...
There are 2 types of"hematomas" in the brain,1= within the brain itself,or 2= between the brain and skull.They are caused by trauma or stroke or a spontaneous rupture of a blood vessel deep inside the brain. A person would have multiple symptoms including,loss of consciousness,fall into a "coma",become paralyzed on one side of the body,experience breathing problems,altered mental status,confusion, and memory loss,especially in the elderly,some would complain of a blinding headache,uneven and slow reacting pupils.CT scans will usually confirm the diagnosis,depending on the severity,surgery to relieve clot and pressure on the brain etc.Take care.

How can you tell if a mole is cancer?
Answer:
the only way to know for sure is to have the mole biospied. but here are some things to look for(it's called the ABCD rule):Asymmetry-nonsymetrical or uneven in shape
Border-notched, uneven borders
Color-different shades of black,brown, tan
Diameter-usually greater than 6mmother things to look for are a change in any of the following:
color, surface, texture, sensation, and surrounding skin.again the only way to know for sure is to have a biopsy.
If it gets bigger and/or darker.
go to the docter
the only sure way is have it removed and biopsied.
Suspicious moles will noticeably change in size and or color, will often be asymetric
you really need to go to the dr to find out for sure
A few ways to tell if a mole is cancer or if it should be looked at by a doctor are,
- if it is bigger that an eraser on a pencil
- if it is more than one color
- if it is not symmetrical
How can you tell if a cough is due to lung congestion or just sinus drainage?
I've been sick since the third week of January. I had bronchitis, but got over that. I've had two sinus infections, double conjunctivitis, nausea, and double ear infections since.
I got better from the first sinus infection, but this second one is lingering and I keep adding symptoms, like the conjunctivitis.Today, I really started coughing again. I think it's from my lungs, but I don't want to go to the doctor and have them tell me it's just drainage. How can you tell the difference?
Answer:
I can only say that I'd much rather go to the doctor and have him tell me it's just sinus drainage rather than lung congestion than to sit around and drown in my own fluids because I was scared. You can tell by the "depth" of your cough. The deeper the cough, the more fluids you are fighting, which usually comes from the chest. Sinus drainage will give you a quick, sudden cough with short duration and much shallower. But, if you can't "relate" to my words, go have a doctor tell you one way or the other. After a few events such as this one and you'll become more of an "expert" with your body's response to fluids in the wrong part of your body, and you won't need a doctor so frequently. God Bless you.
well sinus drip, your bring up mucus, also when you lay down you may feel it dripping down the back of your throat..if it is from your lungs your chest will hurt, and possibly your ribs..and you will feel the cough down much lower than you would with sinus drip..try taking a benadryl, if you get temporary relief then you know it's sinuses
If you can hear yourself wheezing a little bit it's probably from chest congestion. My guess is it probably is a little bit of chest congestion if your head's been draining for a while. Try taking a decongestant to clear everything up and try to take care of the drainage. Hope you get better soon!
Have someone listen to your chest and see if they hear only air in and out of if they hear a "junky" or "wet" sound. And is the cough dry or productive. I f you cough up colored phlegm then play it safe and see a doc.
