Helping a child through an ear infection is practically a parental rite of passage. It's crystal clear when your child isn't feeling well, but how do you know when your child needs treatment? "An ear infection can often appear after your child has had a cold, sore throat or other type of respiratory infection," Dr. Sneha Subbarayan, Pediatrician at ThedaCare Physicians Pediatrics-Neenah. "The middle ear will become inflamed, and it can happen when bacteria from a respiratory infection spreads to the middle ear, or when a secondary infection occurs following a viral illness such as a cold." During the ear infection, fluid will build up behind the eardrum, causing symptoms such as pain, Dr. Subbarayan said. "If your child is experiencing any symptoms of ear infection, especially if they continue for more than 48 hours, it's important to bring them in for an evaluation," she said. "An untreat...

Intertrigo is a skin condition that causes a rash in folds of the skin, such as under the breasts, in the groin, or under the tummy fold. It happens when areas of moist skin rub together. Bacteria and yeast can grow in this environment, leading to an infection. In this article, we describe what intertrigo is, what it looks like, and what causes it.

It usually develops in the inner thighs or armpits, or under the breasts or tummy fold. Some people may experience yeast or bacterial infections in the folds of skin.

While it can happen at any age, intertrigo tends to affect infants, older people, and those with a reduced ability to move around. In babies, it is of...

Just like any other sexually transmitted infection, trichomoniasis can also travel from one person to another through unprotected sexual activity.

Billions of people live with the infection, but there has been scant progress for treatments and tests. When Lauren went to her doctors with stinging clusters of sores on her genitals, she assumed the pain was from a urinary tract infection. But at the OB-GYN, her doctor swabbed the bumps and told her that the rash was herpes. "No," she remembered responding. "It's not." At the time, Lauren, who asked that her last name be withheld in order to talk about personal health issues, was a 19-year-old college student. She was in a two-year monogamous relationship with her second-ever sexual partner — a guy who occasionally dealt with an errant blister on his lip. They hadn't known that oral herpes could induce cold sores, and that HSV-1, the virus that causes oral herpes, could be transferred to the genitals. Lauren's boyfriend was convinced that she had cheated on him, and he broke up with her, she said. Lauren became withdrawn and almost failed out of colleg...

Canker sores, or aphthous ulcers, are shallow, open lesions inside the mouth. They are round or oval in shape and typically red-rimmed and yellow/white in color. Canker sores commonly appear on the insides of the cheeks, on the tongue or gums or inside the lips. Despite their slightly similar names, canker sores are not the same as cold sores (also known as fever blisters). Cold sores appear most commonly on the lips, but can also emerge on the roof of the mouth. They can be spread by kissing or sharing items, such as utensils; canker sores appear inside the mouth and are not contagious. Canker sores are also different from potentially precancerous lesions, such as leukoplakia (white lesions) and erythroplakia (any red lesions). Only a biopsy can determine whether the lesion is pre-cancerous—very often these lesions are benign. Types of Canker Sores For most of us, a canker sore is a pain no matter what. However, there are slightly different names for canker sore types dependin...

APU GOMES/AFP via Getty Images The event that would come to define the early 2020s first entered the public consciousness on the eve of the decade, in late 2019. At first, though, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, wasn't seen as a grave threat by much of the world. By March 2020, however, the landscape had shifted. As the highly contagious and deadly virus spread around the planet, it soon became apparent that drastic global action was necessary.

Now, three years later, the United States is in a be...
