Irritable Bowel Syndrome triggers are the things that make your IBS symptoms flare up. It is easy to avoid such triggers when you are aware of them. Once you know what causes the symptoms to flare up, you can make a plan to avoid them and keep problems such as constipation, belly pain, diarrhoea, and bloating at bay. Diet, stress, and anxiety are the most common triggers that are known to flare-up the symptoms of IBS. Even though IBS is different for everyone, some common triggers should be avoided to prevent common IBS symptoms from occurring. Take a look. Processed/refined foods: Avoid packaged food items like cereals and bread that are made with refined grains. In fact, add a good intake of fibre in your diet, especially the kind that is present in the skin of fruits and vegetables. So, if you are facing IBS symptoms, you should say no to processed foods like cookies, and chips as well. Say no to dairy: Avoid the consumption of dairy products such as milk, especially for those people who are lactose intolerant. You can go for almond or soy milk if you like it. Also, avoid overeating processed milk products like cheese. Avoid caffeine: Create a diet that excludes food items with a high content of chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, fructose, lactose or sorbitol as well as carbonated drinks. You should stop consuming alcoholic beverages to treat the IBS symptoms. Eat healthily: Your goal should be to include more fruits and veggies in your diet. Also, eating too much of fried and fatty foods or really large meals should be avoided as well. Increasing intake of fibre gradually by 2-3 grams every day is a good idea. Include items such as whole grain bread and cereals, fresh fruits, and vegetables to keep IBS symptoms to a bare minimum. Drink more water: Also, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated on a daily basis. Also, seek an expert's advice, and drink a warm glass of water before sleeping and first thing in the morning. IBS, though uncomfortable, can be managed effectively when you are aware of the triggers and take care to avoid them.

Sepsis is a condition that can affect anyone, but some groups can have a higher risk of contracting sepsis. One such group includes the newborns. Sepsis in babies (also known as neonatal sepsis) can usually occur during the first 90 days of their life. This obviously is because infants have a developing immunity which makes them an easy target for bacterial infections. How does neonatal sepsis occur? There are two types of sepsis, i.e., early onset and late onset. Early onset is when the baby contracts the infection within 24 hours of the delivery. This usually happens when the baby is premature. On the other hand, late onset sepsis is when a baby is struck by sepsis in the first month after the birth. Neonatal sepsis occurs due to the following reasons

• If the mother happens to be infected by bacteria during pregnancy.
• Broken water, following a delayed delivery, i.e., almost more than one day.
• Being exposed to individuals or an environment having bacterial infections.

What kind of infections can trigger neonatal sepsis? Some of the common bacteria, virus or fungus that can lead to sepsis in newborns. Such contamination can also occur if the baby misses some of the crucial vaccinations in the first month. Candida, E. Coli, herpes simplex virus, respiratory syncytial virus, listeria monocytogenes, rubella, Haemophilus influenzae type B, varicella, etc. are certain microbes responsible for activating sepsis in babies. Sepsis symptoms in babies It could be quite difficult to track sepsis in your newborn, as they may not project any early sepsis signs in the same way a mature individual would. Therefore, you must keep a close watch on your infant. Here are some common early sepsis symptoms that you should be aware of

• Drastic changes in the body temperatures.
• Sluggish or elevated pulse rate.
• Rejecting breast milk or any other type of food.
• Not urinating frequently.

Apart from the above mentioned early sepsis symptoms, there are additional symptoms which definitely raise the alarm about the infant's health. These could include

• Diarrhea
• Constantly throwing up
• Engorged belly
• Lack of movement, constant fatigue, etc.
• Seizures
• A sudden change in the skin color, such as patchy skin or paleness.
• Irritable mood

If you noticed any of the stated early or severe sepsis symptoms, then you must immediately contact your pediatrician. Your doctor will treat neonatal sepsis with the help of intravenous fluids, antibiotics, oral medications, additional oxygen supply, etc. Depending on the severity the treatment can last for over four weeks.

Temporomandibular is a hinge connecting your jaw to the temporal bones of the skull present in front of each ear. It helps in moving your jaw, and enabling you to talk, chew or yawn. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the problem with the jaw and the muscles of the face that control it. It is usually referred to as TMJ. Before we discuss TMJ treatments lets discuss its causes and symptoms in brief: It usually occurs due to injury to the jaw, the joint muscles of the head and neck due to a huge impact or whiplash. Other causes include:

• Dislocation of the soft cushion or the disc present between the ball and the socket of the joint.
• Arthritis is also one of the causes of TMJ.
• Stress can also induce pressure and tighten facial and jaw muscles due to clenching of the teeth.
• Grinding your teeth also puts a lot of pressure on the jaw which can lead to TMJ disorder.

Some of the symptoms of TMJ disorders include:

• Pain and tenderness in the face, especially in the jaw area. Feeling of constricted movement while chewing or speaking.
• Problems in opening the mouth wide.
• Jaws that get locked in open or closed position.
• Grating or popping sounds during the movement of the jaw.

The goal of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) treatment is to restore the normal functioning of the jaw and relieve from the pain. There are many treatment approaches that can prove to be effective. Some of them are listed below:

• Initial TMJ treatments are called as conservative because they are simple and temporary rather than being invasive and permanent.
• As a result of this, they can be stopped in between and reversed. Since this kind of treatment provides temporary relief and can be administered for mild pain, over-the-counter pain relieving medicines and self-care may suffice. However, it is necessary that one should consult the doctor who will actually decide the degree of the treatment.
• For temporomandibular disorders that are chronic, TMJ treatments such as muscle relaxation measures, biofeedback, or cognitive behavioral therapy can be applied.
• Being one of the most common TMJ treatments, dental splints are also used. These bite plates or mouth guards help in relieving muscle tension and pain, thereby stabilizing the jaw.
• In case there is disc displacement and muscle spasm, the patient might be required to wear splint day and night for at least 2 weeks.
• Gradually, as the pain subsides, switch to putting it only during night times or when experiencing stress or pain in the jaw.

Most of the times, your common cold will go away on its own if you take some simple precautions and remedies. These remedies are very common and easy to administer. Having plenty of rest: Doctors advise that people suffering from cough and cold must have a good night's sleep. Ample rest boosts the overall immunity of the patient and helps fight cold and cough. Avoiding exercise: While it is good to stick to a fitness regime, avoid exercising when you are suffering from cough or cold. Let your body relax. Exercises may stretch your immune system and this can only prolong your illness. Staying hydrated: People suffering from cold resist drinking water and other fluids. However, when you drink lots of water, the mucus sticking inside your respiratory tract loosens down and this leads you to feel better. On the advice of your doctor, you may also use a nasal saline spray to break the excess mucus down. Gargling with warm water also helps in fighting cold. Hot tea: Having hot tea helps in several ways to combat your cold. Firstly, it loosens up the excess mucus in your respiratory tract. Secondly, hot fluids kill the viruses that are lurking inside your nose and throat. Lastly, having a hot cup of tea releases endorphins, molecules that cause happiness, which raise your spirits and make your recovery faster. Adding honey to cold remedies: In a study from the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, parents of 105 kids suffering from cold said that adding honey to common cold remedies was more effective than using cough syrups alone. Honey helped in overcoming sleep difficulty as well. Menthol: Menthol has been a very popular remedy for treating common cold. It affects the nerve endings in your nose and makes you feel better. However, a recent study indicates that menthol based remedies increase the production of mucus rather than reducing it. If you still want to use menthol, do not apply the balm near or inside your nose. Hot brandy: Contrary to popular perception, alcohol based remedies have a limited effect on your cold. Doctors say that having a brandy or any other alcohol based remedy can cause dehydration and may prolong your cold. Having garlic: This organic food helps people in fighting cold immensely. You can have it in a crushed form, or eat it as a capsule. Garlic not only fights off cold, it also prevents people from catching this disease. While there are many common remedies to fight common cold, the best medication for a cold is ample rest.
