Benadryl Use for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

 My Quora Answer to:

Does Benadryl help hand, foot, and mouth disease?

If the rash (dermatitis) is pruritic (itchy) then, yes.

HFMD rarely occurs in adults and when it does, can be extremely itchy. Conversely, it is rarely pruritic in children, who catch it much more frequently.

The lesions are painful, so over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen will help. Adults can use aspirin safely if not contraindicated, but avoid it in children because of the increased risk of Reye's Syndrome in that age group.

The above pain relievers are also antipyretic, meaning that they will reduce fever. And chills.

Heat can increase the pain so avoid hot liquids. Very cold beverages decrease pain.

If your rash is itchy, then by all means take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and/or the non-sedating antihistamines such as Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec.

To Spank or Not to Spank? That is the Real Question.

 My Quora Answer to: Would you spank a teen like me if you had to?

"Unless it’s done between consenting adults, spanking is VERY rarely warranted. Before I go into more detail, allow me to provide my child-forwarding (and not “-rearing”) credentials."

Boobs

 My Quora Answer to the Question, "Why have breasts been sexualized when they deem no sexual purposes?" I didn't write it, but my first thought was that this isn't a question. Rather it is an opinion.

"The second, about 300,000 years ago, had to do with females being able to choose their mates due to face-to-face sex. Until then, as in the rest of creation, sex was basically rape. The first guy in her from behind during ovulation would usually end up being the biological father of her next kid. Like a glory hole contest for paternity."

If It Hurts When You Do That, Don't Do It

Sometimes people confuse me.

Here is my Quora Answer to the Question, "My hands feel like the veins are full of blood like when after I swing my arm around really fast. What is this symptom called and what does it mean?"

First of all, this is physics, not medicine. Secondly, why couldn't this person figure it out themself? Last, unless you are a Shen Yun or Blue Man Group performer, what adult swings their arms around like that?
