What are the risks for a child under 3 years old to take Neurontin?

We Answered:

It seems as if Neurontin has not been studied on pediatric cases, and is not highly recommended due to unknown longterm affects. However, I did look into some other options that would be very benificial and have no side affects, especially for someone as young as three. Essential Fatty Acids (omega 3 + 6) and Alpha Lipoic Acid are healthy and natural fatty acids the body needs to function properly. These fatty acids are strong antioxidants and help repair damaged nerves and nerve cells and help with the transmission of neurotransmitters, in chilren it is excellent for the development of a healthy nervous system and healthy brain function, helps with the treatment of ADD and ADHD, acne, arthritis, cholestrol; the list goes on. The good point of these fatty acids is they have no side affects, though if someone has an allergy to fish, I would advise looking at the ingredients to ensure there are no fish oils in the particular brand since most of them contain fish oils. At such a young age, I would recomend a low dosage, but booking an appointment to see a Naturopathic Doctor would be benificial. I am a natuopathic health counselor working at a Natural Health and Wellness clinic in Atlantic Canada. My name is Alicia Gabraelle, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to email me anytime and I will try to respond with the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this will help you out, doing some online research my help you out aswell. Look up Alpa Lipoic Acid, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Conjegated Linolic Acid and Vitamin E. This should at least put you a step in the right direction. My personal recommendation would be to look into Your omega's. You can usually purchase them in the vitamin section of your grocery store, or try a Natural store as well. Also, you can look up food high in these fatty acids if you are uncomfortable having your child take gel capsules.

Can being exposed to new fiberglass insulation cause immediate health symptoms and illness?

We Answered:

alrighty, I used to work at a plant that makes fiberglass.... (I may not explain this exactly right)
fiberglass is glass that is covered in a binder to make it yarn like. Alot of us at the plant were allergic to the binder... now we were exposed to it in the wet form all the way over to the packing part when it was dry.... it caused sore throats and coughing from inhaling it it (in all forms).... it also caused skin irritations. Anything from a rash to hives....
this may take a while for you to accomplish but I would contact the manufacture of the insulation, find out what company made the fiber glass (example... PPG industries based in Pa.) Contact them and find out what binder or other chemicals were used in making it... or you could also take a sample to your dr and see what they think... feel free to email me if you want a better explaination of how its made.... its all i know, I grew up with dad working there, then I went there and my father in law still works there.... I will help anyway you feel I might be able too.... Best of luck to you

Matthew Said:

could a health emergency on a child be effected by their religion or culture? could this effect their symptoms

We Answered:

Definately, some religions do not believe in getting blood products. Therefore if a child is in a horriable accident or has an injury where they need a transfusion and that is refused based on religion that child could die.

Religion wouldn't affect the symptoms, but certainly could reflect upon the outcome.

What are good ways to naturally relieve itchy, burning eyes in a child?

We Answered:

1) put warm tea bags over her eyelids

2) let her gently close her eyes, and then with her fingertips let her gently move her fingers space by space across the eyelids, start from the inner core of the eye, and work her way across and around the entire eye area -- reaching the cheek bone on bottom and eyebrows on top.

Will Asthma prevent me from getting health care?

We Answered:

It shouldn't get you declined with most companies. However, depending upon your state of residence it could possibly result in a rider. A rider means they won't cover the asthma or allergies or anything related or is a result of the asthma or allergies.

The fact that you've gone 2 years without medication is a plus so it is possible that there won't be any conditions on the policy.
