Small talk on fever

By
Today I am going talk about the Fever which will help you to understand the mechanism and treatment of fever.
Whenever any micro organism i.e. Bacteria and Viruses enter any person’s body, it reacts with increase in number of White blood cell (WBC) in the blood. These WBCs fight against this micro organism and chemicals which are produce during this fight give rise to fever.
The Symptomatic treatment for fever is paracetamol and tepid sponging i.e. applying wet towels to the entire body and not only on the forehead as shown in movies. Tepid sponging work on the simple principle of physics that is the temperature moves from higher denomination to lower denomination.
In children particularly the temperature should not rise more than 100 °F as it may lead to convulsions.
In India, any fever with chills unless proved otherwise is due to malaria. Evening rise of Fever with loss of appetite and loss of weight may be due to TB.
The appropriate investigation and treatment should be given in such cases.

The Nature of Anger

By
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, like other human emotions. It is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when someone gets angry, heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of energy hormones, adrenaline, and nor adrenaline. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems - problems at work, in personal relationships, and in the overall quality of life. People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger.

Father’s instructions for life
