Summary: When you made plans for your future they never involved being hired by a Mandalorian to baby-sit his adorable, green gremlin of a child. However, after your life fell apart in the span of one disastrous night, you found it to be the only feasible option you had left. Nevarro was a far cry from Coruscant, but the thriving community turned out to be exactly what you needed. Every day you spend in Nevarro you fall more and more in love with your new life, but when your past rears its ugly head you find that perhaps peace wasn’t meant for everyone.

Ch. #14: AM I MAKING YOU QUIVER?

Chapter Summary: Exploration and Anticipation

“i must have loved you in other lives because when i see you it feels like coming home. no one makes me feel more myself than you. when my hand is in yours it’s familiar and safe, like i’ve known your soul since the beginning of time, through all the lives i’ve lived. maybe that’s why my love for you is infinite.” --m.m.

This was the first time you woke up beside Din. Up until now, every moment that involved him taking you to bed or falling asleep on him ended with you waking up alone. Alone or with Grogu. Din always seemed to be up before you. There was absolutely nothing comfortable about the cot you were laying on. At baseline it was hard and covered with crinkling, thin sterile paper. It was also only large enough for one person. Which, granted, with Grogu alone on it the cot had looked massive, but now it held Din, Grogu, and you. You were startled that you hadn’t woken up on the floor.

You had Din to thank for that. He laid on his back, armor and helmet present, with Grogu sleeping soundly on his chest. You laid half on his side, curled around him, but he had one arm under you and resting on your waist clinging to you tightly. Saving you from sleeping on the hard, tile floor wasn’t the only thing you had to thank him for.

Last night had been… difficult. Nothing short of the Maker himself was going to stop you from doing everything in your power to heal Grogu, and even then the Maker might not be able to hold you back, but the cost had been steep. The moment your body registered that Grogu was safe, vitals steady and father in the room, you had crumpled in on yourself like a dying star. Every single demon that called your mind home crawled out of the wood works to plague you.

Surely, you thought, they’d devour you whole and leave you an empty shell. Yet, here you were. Still alive, still functioning, and⏤ dank farrik⏤ you were content. Content, borderline happy. An emotion you thought would be impossible after the events of last night. You felt safe. Lying here, watching Din and Grogu sleep peacefully, Din’s arm clinging to you, you felt like there wasn’t a force in this galaxy that could touch you. Over the last year, a lot of people promised that you’d be protected. Many swore that nothing would hurt you. 

Din was the only one you believed.

Despite wanting to stay in this moment forever, you knew you needed to rise. There were things you needed to collect and, though you had revealed a lot of who you were last night, it’d be nice to not have an audience. Carefully, you untangled yourself from Din’s arm. He stirred for a moment, but you whispered a reassurance. It was a testament to how exhausted the Mandalorian was as he laid his head back and dozed off once more.

As you stood, that’s when the aches began to settle from the night you had. The cot, and technically Din’s armored body, had not been forgiving to your skin, bones, or joints. You stretched as you walked over to the medical shelves. You wanted to make another two doses of the antipyretic, just to have on hand, and an additional dose of antibiotics for Grogu to take. It was overkill, technically, but you didn’t care. It was also mildly illegal for you to take some of these supplies home, but who was going to stop you? Daelar? That coward was off world so he had no say over this clinic, and you had a pretty solid relationship with the Marshal. Enough so that you doubted he’d be arresting you for this.

Quietly, you worked with practiced ease compounding the medications. Without the added stress of a ticking time bomb in feverish child form, you were able to find the action calming. That is until a figure settled next you. Her presence startled you at first, but you recognized the girl you held at gunpoint only hours ago.

“Oh, Aayla, hey.” You greeted in a whisper, to not disturb Din, “I’m sorry about last night. With the blaster and the⏤”

“No, no. Don’t apologize.” Aayla replied. “You were incredible. This is incredible.” She motioned to the medicine you were half done compounding. “I think I’m in love with you.”

“Wait, what?”

“I came here to gain experience before I apply to medical school, and I was so disappointed with what I found.” She said. The girl was practically bouncing in place. “But now I have you! Oh, I am so excited to work with you!”

Your fingers froze and you slowly shook your head. “No. No, no, no, no. I’m not⏤ We’re not⏤”

Aayla tilted her head in confusion. “You’re gonna be the new on site physician, aren't you?”

Maker, in your panic last night had you just told everyone you were a doctor before? You shook your head. You needed to get this done. The sound of Din stirring made you glance over your shoulder toward him. You hummed, “Aayla, can you take out Grogu’s IV? Have you done that before?”

“I have!” She rushed away and you took that as a victory.

Din sat up on the cot at her approach, Grogu still cradled in his arms, and you sighed in relief once more. Grogu still hadn’t woken up, but that didn’t surprise you. You had made both medications last night with a sedative effect. The poor kid needed as much rest as possible. All thoughts were interrupted when Din’s t-shaped visor lifted from Grogu to focus on you. You physically felt his eyes on you and a thrill ran down your spine all the way to your toes. You quickly turned back around and went back to work. You were nearly done with the last one. Would’ve been finished by now if Aayla hadn’t caught you off guard.

As if the universe knew you were trying to stay focused on task and wanted to distract you, an all too familiar form silently approached. Din towered over you, quite the sight in all his beskar, and though his presence hadn’t surprised you the way he curled around you did. Din rested one hand on the counter, his other wrapped around your waist, and he leaned into you so the side of his helmet was pressed against the side of your face. The man might as well have set you on fire with the flamethrower connected to his vambrace. Heat warmed your cheeks and flooded into every nook and cranny of your body.

This was hardly the first time he had broken the barrier to touch you, but this was the first time it wasn’t spurred on by some emotional turmoil. You hadn’t expected him to be so casual. To openly touch you in this way. 

“Hi.” You mumbled, unsure of what else to say.

A low, rumbling chuckle spilled out from the helmet’s modulator and the sound made your breath catch in your throat. Din squeezed your waist. “Hi.” He nodded his head down toward your hands. “What are you doing?”

“I, uh, I’m…” Habit told you to lie. You were supposed to keep this a secret. Nobody was supposed to know about your past. Your logic argued that it was a little late for that and telling Din you were ‘making mixed drinks with the medical supplies’ wasn’t going to convince him of anything. “Medicine.” You blurted. Mentally, you cursed your lack of allure and tact. Maker, why did Din make you babble like an idiot? For once, could you just be cool? Give off an air of mystery and intrigue like he was able to? Kriff. “Uh, medicine for Grogu. Just in case.”

“Good.” He replied. “Smart.”

“What can I say? I have my moments sometimes.”

Din hummed out a sound of amusement, but before you could commend yourself for saying something marginally clever and well thought out, you felt his gloved fingers brush just under the hem of your shirt. The leather warm and firm on the bare skin of your abdomen, and your entire brain short circuited at the motion. 

“You almost ready to go home, ner kar’ta?” He whispered.

Voice broken, you nodded dumbly. Din chuckled once more before pulling back and walking back to the cot. Maker. Oh, Maker. You glanced over your shoulder to watch him saunter away. He didn’t do it on purpose, he didn’t seem to know what his gait did to the people around him, but you could watch Din walk for hours. It was such a casual and strong pace⏤ confidence oozing from every step.

For weeks now, you had been fighting an emotional connection to this man. You were terrified of messing up the good thing you had. It couldn’t be argued that the ship of staying distant had sailed. The wall between the two of you, emotionally speaking, was a pile of dust now. The physical thoughts? Those had always been easy to swat away. You forced yourself to not let your mind wander on his hip to shoulder ratio. To not think about the sliver of flesh you’d see at home between the waistband of his sweatpants and the hem of his shirt. To not think about his strong arms and the way they would feel wrapped around you.

You had been so good about it. Up until now, that is.

Now? Dank farrik, you wanted to jump his bones. 

Maybe it was the excess adrenaline from everything that happened last night, or maybe it was you being too weak to hold back those primal thoughts, but regardless of the reason the desire was there in full force. Your eyes traced him from boots to helmet once more. He was standing by the cot watching Aayla work with his hands on his hips and his head faced down in a studious manner. Oof. A man covered head to toe in metal and the woven material of a flight suit should not look this good. The man didn’t have a single patch of skin showing, yet you were foaming at the mouth feral for him.

As if reading your wanton thoughts, Din’s gaze snapped to you. Your eyes widened. Though you couldn’t see where his eyes were trained, you still flushed as if he were raking over your form, and when his head tilted to the side it felt like your heart seized in your chest. Double oof. You whipped your head back around, swallowing the lump that had formed in your throat, and tried to get back to the task at hand. Focus, focus, focus.

Medicine for Grogu first, eye fucking his father second.

They had slept in the clinic far longer than Din had thought. The quick trip back home was made in early morning light and the city was beginning to come to life. Normally, this would frustrate him, but Cara had left him a note saying that Karga was excusing them of all duties today⏤ as a thanks. Any issues would run through him. In any other scenario, Din would argue over this plan, but today? No, today he was going to send Karga a damned fruit basket as thanks when he got the chance.

There was a very long list of tasks Din had to accomplish. He needed to hunt down Daelar so he could rip the man’s cowardly spine from his body and beat him to death with it for leaving his son and you without medicine. He needed to repair his vambrace so the communicator would work once more. He needed to ensure Grogu was healing properly⏤ though you were handling that better than he ever could it seemed. And a few other dozen items he always had on his to-do list. One of the more important things on his list of goals for the day? You. 

Din knew he had a bad habit of tunnel vision. He knew because people told him this constantly. He tended to make a goal and then barrel through any obstacle or issue with blinders on until he got what he wanted. It was part of the reason why he was so good at bounty hunting, though it was also the reason why he found himself in so many messes over the years. Today, it would come in handy because you were at the end of this tunnel.

“How much longer will he be asleep?” Din asked. Grogu was bundled up in his arms as the two of you entered into the house. 

You set the bag of supplies you had taken from the clinic onto the kitchen counter then shrugged. “If I had to guess…a couple more hours?”

“Good.” Din replied. Without another word, he began the journey to his room. First things first, he needed to get his son settled. The last time Din had seen Grogu sleep so soundly was when they first met and he saved him from the mudhorn.

Carefully, he tucked the boy into his hammock and shuffled through the toys below to find Grogu’s favorite stuffed frog. Din set it in the hammock as well and took a minute to breath out a sigh of relief. Maker, he was thankful Grogu was safe and healing. He was thankful for you, and he wanted to show that to you in any and every way you’d allow him.

Din stepped back and began to peel off layers of his beskar. The gloves and his gauntlets fell away first followed by his shoulder pieces and his torso. He had even shrugged out of the tight upper half of his flight suit leaving him in the plain t-shirt that sat beneath. His hands drifted to undo his belt, but he heard you pass by his room on the way to the bathroom. Din paused in his process and walked out of his room⏤ almost like a man possessed. As he shut the door behind him quietly, as to not rouse Grogu, he heard the sound of the shower kick on. His body was moving before he fully registered the motion, and his knuckles rapped against the wooden door.

“Yeah?” Your muffled voice called out.

“Can I come in?” It was a weighted question, he knew, and judging on the silence that followed it you were aware of this as well. Your eventual reply was a soft affirmative noise, and Din found himself pushing the door open slowly. He’d keep all his movements slow. Din would give you every opportunity to push him away. The relationship between the two of you was a series of lines drawn in the sand, and Din knew he was blowing past every single one right now.

You stood at the bathroom counter, back to the mirror, and the shower off to the side was already running. His helmet’s sensor told him the water beating down was ice cold. 

“I was thinking a, uh, shower,” You cleared your throat, eyes not leaving him, “might be the best thing for me right now.”

Din gave a small nod. Then took another step in your direction, “I can help with that.” Din said every word slowly, took every step slowly, in order to give you every opportunity to stop him. “If you’d like.”

The corner of your lips twitched up, a sight that made him ache, and you shrugged. “The buttons on this shirt were really tricky.”

It was the only invitation he needed to close the remaining space between the two of you. Din cupped your face with his bare hands, thumbs caressing your cheeks, and he tilted your head up just so he could look at you. Maker, you were gorgeous. The light in your eyes, the way you glowed when you smiled, it put the stars to shame. 

“You’re a work of art, ner kar’ta.” He breathed.

“What does that one mean?” You asked softly. “Ner kar’ta.”

Din tilted his head with a chuckle, “If I told you, I’d have to come up with a new nickname to call you.” 

His fingers trailed down your neck and found the buttons that started at your collar. Din continued to move slowly as he undid each button of your shirt, but this time it was for his own sake rather than yours. He wanted to savor every second of touch he had with you. He soaked in the soft gasps you made every time his cold fingers brushed against your warm torso. 

“I like this look on you, by the way.” You whispered. Din hummed in response⏤ too busy admiring your bare skin to be decent at holding a real conversation. You leaned forward enough that he could pull the shirt down off your body leaving you in only a bra. “The t-shirt. With the beskar plated pants and boots⏤ plus that helmet. You’d have bounties quivering.”

Din ran his hands across your belly, over your sides, then up your back. So close now that his chest was pressed against yours. He kept his voice low and quiet. “Am I making you quiver?” The sharp breath you sucked in was a sound he’d have memorized for the rest of his life. Din let his hands explore your upper body determined to memorize that as well. 

Eventually his hands made it back to your chest and he let his fingers brush against the scar on your collarbone. Briefly he felt you stiffen. “Mesh’la.” Din reassured, then followed it up in a language you’d understand. “Beautiful. You are so kriffing beautiful, ner kar’ta.”

Din traced his hands downward, pausing over your breasts, then continued to drag his palms over your abdomen⏤ his thumb dipped against your navel. When his hands reached the waistband of your pants, he undid the button and zipper then knelt down in front of you. Din helped you step out of the first pants’ leg and he held his hand behind your knee allowing his thumb to tenderly caress circles against your calf. Din stared up at you the entire time. The pupils of your eyes were blown wide with desire and your tempting lips were parted. It was a look that Din wouldn’t mind staring up at forever. He’d spend the rest of his life on his knees for you if it meant you’d continue to look at him in this way.

“Pretty girl.” Din hummed as he worked to get your other leg untangled from the rest of your pants. He focused his gaze back to eye level and took in a shaky breath. Your dark underwear was a shade darker at the center, a damp spot he could just barely see, but it was enough to tell him you were in the same state of being nearly undone by the other. It was a match to the near painful hard on he had pressed against the thickness of his flight suit’s pants. 

It was absolute torture to be so close to what he wanted, but still be separated by so much. Din had never been so tempted to rip the helmet off his head just so he could press open mouthed kisses up your thigh to your damp center. He was an Apostate anyways according to the covert. That title just might be worth it for a taste of you.

“Din.” You breathed his name and he shuddered in response.

Maker, he wanted you to know how much you meant to him. Din wished he could string together paragraph after paragraph about how you made him feel. But, he was bad at talking. Din didn’t have the skills to voice how strong his thoughts were. Action though? Oh, Din was very good at action. And, he planned to reveal how strongly he felt for you with every touch he was allowed. You said Grogu would be asleep for another few hours. Din didn’t think that was near enough time, but it would be a good start to how he planned to worship your body.  

He may not be able to use his mouth, but years of being bound by this barrier made him very, very good with his hands. Din hooked his fingers under the bands of your panties with full intention to rip them off of you, but your hands suddenly landed on his.

Worried, his head snapped up to gauge if you were alright. “Cyar’ika⏤”

“I’m okay. I’m more than okay, I’m⏤” You took a slow, shuddering breath. “But if you get started, I’m going to absolutely fall apart, Din.”

“That’s exactly what I want, pretty girl.” Din chuckled. As the other nickname left his lips, Din wished he knew your real name. Calling you Soran, knowing the little he did, felt wrong. Another chuckle escaped him. It wasn’t often he was on the curious end of this conundrum. 

You ran your hands over his forearms, to his elbows, and you tried to pull him up to stand. Din, reluctantly, stood back up so he was towering over you once more. The bright smile that filled your features was enough to make it worth it. You reached out and set your hands on his shoulders. “It’s my turn to explore.” Din tilted his head, in genuine confusion, and you dragged your hands down to his abdomen. The tips of your fingers brushed against his bare skin and his entire body stiffened in response. “You’re wearing too much clothes.”

Din hesitated, only for a moment, before he reached back to grasp the collar of his shirt and pulled it up over his head. A nervous energy settled in his chest as he let the shirt fall to the bathroom floor. Din watched you as your small fingers ran across his abdomen, chest, and arms. Every scar you came across, you spent the time tracing it softly as he had yours. 

“Mesh’la.” You said though the pronunciation was just slightly off. He chuckled and your smile widened. Your hands trailed to his back and he felt you lightly dragging your nails against his skin. Goosebumps formed on his skin. “I’m serious though, Din. I could spend all day staring at you⏤ touching you.”

Din couldn’t help but shake his head. “You don’t have to lie. I think I have more scars than normal skin, at this point.”

“I’m not lying.” You replied. He didn’t think he could be more surprised by your actions, but you leaned in and pressed your lips against a rather gnarly patch of scarred skin on the left side of his chest where a vibroblade had cut through the armor he had before his beskar. Honest to Maker, an actual whimper slipped from him as his eyes fluttered closed. You continued on. Taking the time to press your lips against every scar you could find while mumbling about how beautiful he was between each one.

Din had never been so intimate with a person before. He was no stranger to sex, to carnal desires, but up until now every encounter had been a means to an end. Quick and to the point. Nearly every time, he’d still have on every piece of his armor. The partners he found would be in various stages of undress, but Din never felt comfortable enough to match them in that state. Everything about this moment was starkly different. He felt safe and he treasured every single tender second that passed. He craved it. Din craved you. Another difference. Before now, his sex life had been a series of hit and runs. Never the same person twice. It wasn’t necessarily a conscious choice, but Din was always traveling and nothing tempted him enough to return and repeat. 

You were not those other partners. Maker, he’d never get enough of you. Din knew that without a doubt and he technically hadn’t even fully touched you yet. That was the stranglehold you had on his mind, body, and soul.

When you pulled back, Din reopened his eyes to stare down at you. He cupped your face once more and for what had to be the thousandth time he wished he didn’t have a wall of beskar separating the two of you. Your hands lifted to hold over his then trailed down to his elbows. Without looking away from him, Din felt your hands on his abdomen. Tracing lower, lower, lower. You undid his belt then buried your hands into his pants to pull them down further. He could feel your hands against his thighs, and it was absolutely pathetic how close he came to falling apart just by having you near his cock.

The sudden loud banging of someone beating their fist against the front door of the house drifted down the hall into the bathroom, and it was just as jarring as if Din had stepped into the cold shower himself. Both of you froze, his hands cupping your face and your hands still buried in his pants. A beat of silence made Din hopeful, but it was followed by a now repeated banging that did not stop.

Din let out a groan and let his head fall forward to lightly rest against your forehead. His frustrated words came out in a near snarl. “I’m going to kill whoever is at the door.”

The sound of your quiet laugh loosened the tension in his shoulders but did nothing to the new level of frustration he had. You pulled your hands out of his pants, a loss that devastated Din, and placed them over his again.

“Well, you know what they say about anticipation.” You said.

“No.” Din shook his head. “I don’t. What do they say?”

Your smile turned sheepish as you shrugged. “I, uh, I don’t actually know.” Din’s lips curled into a smile of his own. “I didn’t think you’d call me on that. To be honest, words just sort of fall out of my mouth when I’m with you.” Din chuckled, and you squeezed his hands. “I don’t think my brain works right when my skin is touching yours.”

Din knew lust. He could recognize the hot, burning solar flare it tended to be. It was blinding. Like, a comet rushing by him leaving him spinning in the heated sparks of its tail end. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel that way with you⏤ Maker, knew that wasn’t the case⏤ but with you there was something else. It came on so slow that he didn’t even realize he felt the comforting warmth until it was nestled deep in his chest. The feeling planted roots in his soul and blossomed into something he couldn't live without. It was invigorating. It was life. It was standing in the sun on a warm day and soaking in every ray of warmth. 

“I need to answer the door.” You mumbled. “Before the knocking wakes up Grogu.”

Din nodded with another sigh. You turned your head, pressing your lips to the palm of his hand, then stepped away from him. You leaned over to turn the shower off⏤ the shower neither of you ever made it to⏤ and he bent over to scoop up his shirt. Din held it out to you. A deliberate decision. You raised an eyebrow at him but didn’t hesitate to pull his too large shirt over your head. Din nodded at the sight of you, appeased at seeing you in his clothes.

“I’ll be right there.” Din said as you hurried away. 

When he knew you were a safe distance away, he pulled his helmet off and rubbed his face with his hands. Anticipation. Din had been on the edge of anticipation for much too long. He was sliding straight into sexually frustrated now. At this rate, when he finally did get a taste of you it might just kill him. 

“Mando!” Your voice called out. He had already gotten used to hearing you use his name after one day. Enough so that the moniker disappointed him. Still, Din felt a flash of pride that his trust had been rewarded. He didn’t even need to tell you not to use his real name in front of others. You just knew. “It’s Karga!”

“I’ll be right there.” He called back and grabbed his helmet. Din would have to step back into his room to dress back into his gear before meeting the High Magistrate. One thing was for certain, he would not be sending Karga a kriffing fruit basket anymore.

Help! I think my timelord has a fever? I can't tell 100% but they don't look good. Do I need a special thermometer to check? (Where do I buy/find one?) What do I do??

Gallifreyan Pyrexia

Disclaimer: This guide is not suitable for humans. Always consult your human medical people.

🌡️ Checking Temperature

First things first, you don’t need a special thermometer to check your Time Lord’s temperature—a human one will do just fine. Here are some key points to remember:

Every Gallifreyan will have their own normal temperature baseline, somewhere between 15-19°C (59-66.2°F).

This shouldn't deviate by more than 2-3 degrees.

If their temperature rises above 19°C (66.2°F), they could be suffering from hyperthermia.

📋 Recognising Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia occurs when their body temperature exceeds 19°C (66.2°F), potentially leading to heatstroke and other serious complications. Signs and symptoms include:

Flushed Skin: The skin may appear red and feel hot to the touch.

Sweating: While not as common as in humans, excessive sweating may occur.

Weakness: A general feeling of fatigue or weakness.

Dizziness and Confusion: Disorientation and dizziness can be significant signs.

Rapid Heart Rate: Increased heart rate can accompany the rise in temperature.

Nausea and Vomiting: Digestive upset can be a symptom of severe hyperthermia.

🏡 Home Treatment for Hyperthermia

If your Time Lord shows signs of hyperthermia, here’s what you can do at home:

Move to a Cooler Environment: Get them out of the heat and into a cooler, shaded area immediately.

Hydration: Encourage them to drink cool, non-alcoholic fluids. Water is best. Avoid caffeine.

Cool Compresses: Apply cool, damp cloths to their forehead, neck, armpits, and groin.

Fan Air: Use a fan to circulate air around them or gently fan them to increase evaporative cooling.

Remove Excess Clothing: Help them remove any excess clothing to allow their body to cool down more effectively.

🚑 When to Seek Immediate Help

Temperature above 19°C (66.2°F)

Unresponsiveness or severe confusion

Severe vomiting or inability to keep fluids down

Signs of shock (rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, clammy skin)

You suspect Sepsis (Refer to the Guide Sepsis Emergency Response (SER))

🏥 Advanced Treatment Guide

If home treatments are not effective or the patient's temperature is rising rapidly, seek medical attention immediately. If you're in a TARDIS, the medbay has an automated interface that can guide you through these next steps.

📋 Assessment

Initial Assessment: Check vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. For a detailed scoring system, refer to the Guide Gallifreyan Assessment Scoring System (GASS).

Continuous Assessment: Continuously monitor body temperature and vital signs. Use an accurate thermometer capable of reading low temperatures.

🧊 Cooling Methods

IV Fluids: Start intravenous (IV) fluids immediately to rehydrate and cool the body from the inside.

Cooling Blankets: Use cooling blankets or pads to lower body temperature. Ensure these are set to a safe temperature to avoid overcooling.

Ice Packs: Place ice packs in the axillae (armpits), groin, and neck to rapidly reduce core body temperature.

Evaporative Cooling: Use misting fans and cool water sprays to enhance evaporative cooling.

💊 Medications

If deemed appropriate by a medical professional/the TARDIS medbay computer:

Antipyretics: Administer antipyretics to help lower fever.

Anticonvulsants: Administer anticonvulsants to help reduce risk of seizures.

Sedation: In severe cases, sedation might be necessary to control agitation and allow for more effective cooling.

🖥️ Monitoring and Support

Electrolyte Monitoring: Regularly check electrolyte levels, as hyperthermia can cause imbalances.

Cardiac Monitoring: Continuous cardiac monitoring is crucial due to the risk of arrhythmias. Refer to the Guide Gallifreyan CPR for reviving a Gallifreyan in case of cardiac arrest.

Neurological Checks: Regular neurological assessments to monitor for signs of brain damage or seizures.

Mechanical Ventilation: If respiratory distress or failure occurs, mechanical ventilation may be necessary. Follow the ABCDE Assessment Guide to quickly assess and treat a sick Gallifreyan.

🚑 Post-Emergency Care

Once the immediate threat is over, following up with a specialised Gallifreyan medic is vital. Your Gallifreyan might need specific treatments to fully recover and prevent future incidents.

Remember, while these steps provide a general guide, each situation is unique. Always prioritise professional medical advice when available.

Just headcanons with Leon and his daughter who has a chronic illness

Leon x daughter!sick (diabetes, epilepsy or any other severe chronic disease)

√ Hey, Leon carefully guards his child! however, there are not always things from which he can protect his daughter.

√ I see Leon as a very caring father. He will worry if his daughter's knee is torn from a fall from a bicycle and carefully treat her wound and bind it up if necessary. He will also monitor how her childhood injuries are healing.

√ Having seen so many horrors in the world, Leon takes even a simple cold seriously. If the temperature does not decrease even after taking an antipyretic, Leon will prefer to take his daughter to the hospital.

√ Leon hardly knows the symptoms of the diseases, but he noticed an unusual dryness of the skin and the smell of acetone in combination with other symptoms. If his daughter loses consciousness in front of him, it will drive him crazy. All the way to the hospital, Leon will hold her in his arms and kiss her on the forehead or the top of her head.

√ Nevertheless, he will not allow himself to show fear of his daughter. No matter at what age she is diagnosed with it, Leon will be her strongest support. He will learn everything about this disease and his concern will only increase.

√ He is paid very well for risks at work, so the question of money is never acute. Leon will make sure that his baby receives good treatment, which will be corrected by doctors in time and he will repeatedly take her to an endocrinologist and other necessary examinations.

√ Measure your blood sugar level every day and make sure that the insulin injection is done on time? Papa Leon is watching this very carefully. He even keeps a blood sugar control log.

√ Does she need a home education? Leon will study this issue, and if necessary, then no problem.

√ It is important to understand that under no circumstances will he leave his child alone with these diseases. He will never tell his wife/girlfriend to deal with this shit alone.

√ Will take her to all medical procedures.

√ He's such a loving dad. He always convinces his little girl that her illness does not make her inferior. Spends time with her looking for classes available to her.

√ He will definitely not allow his child to be offended.

√ He will turn on her cartoons and lie next to her in the nursery until she falls asleep. Actually, Leon, because of his daughter's illness, can check her well-being even at night.

√ He definitely knows how to provide first aid, but for the sake of his daughter, learn to put injections more carefully so as not to leave bruises and not cause her great pain.

√ Always consults with specialists on any medical issues.

√ Leon will always take care of his child's well-being. This is what he highlights, if nerves or stress affect her health, then he will comfort her and say that no excitement is worth her well-being. For Leon, the daughter is a little diamond, no matter what she is ill with.

√ If a chronic illness is caused by a severe injury (for example, a traumatic brain injury), Leon will literally hate himself for not looking after his child well.

√Again, medications are very expensive, as well as treatment, but Leon is ready to do everything possible so that his child does not need anything. If she gets epilepsy later, Leon will try to always be there to help his baby.

√ Leon will always try to be there. When she is in the hospital, he will provide her with the full care that is possible.

√ It does not matter what kind of disease she has, he will still study the Internet and books studying this diagnosis in order to know better how to help his child.

√ Perhaps his daughter will be banned from playing sports or attending summer camps, depending on how serious everything is, then Leon will try to find a good alternative with her.

√ All medicines will always be at hand.

Abby

Lev is hot enough to keep them both warm for a spell.

He stares distantly into the white wilderness as Abby holds him, the serenity of the porch swing ruined by her heartbeat thrashing in her ears. He hasn’t spoken since Abby pulled him into her arms and rushed him outside. She’s shivering, but it doesn’t matter for now. The snow is hard to see in the gradually falling night, flurries piling on the feet of snow they already have. It’s only a few weeks to Christmas if Abby remembers right.

She looks down at Lev, at his pale face in the porch light, blinking absently as he watches the trees. A scavenged plastic bag filled with snow rests on his forehead.

There are no thoughts in her head as she gazes down at him. Nothing she wants to hear, nothing she wants to think about right now. Lev is still burning up as Abby shudders in the snow—she can tell even through his clothing. One hand has a loose grip on Abby’s shirt, the other limp at his side.

Without thinking, her eyes drift to the rewrapped wound on his thigh. Ellie had rushed to bandage it before Abby took him outside, then sped off to do God knows what for the last half hour. She better be doing something fucking useful, Abby thinks with halfhearted spite. There’s a lot she can’t bring herself to think about right now. Ellie somehow seems like the safest option.

If she doesn’t think about Ellie, she’ll think about something else. She’ll think about Lev, her ward, her baby brother, dying in her arms. Fighting off something even Seattle’s best can’t defend him from. She’ll think about Yara. How she’d be nearly nineteen if she’d ever made it off the island. How she really doesn’t know where Yara is. Lev’s told her about the Seraphite’s intricate burial rites—but Yara died an apostate. For all Abby knows, her body was burned with the wolves.

If she doesn’t think about Ellie, she’ll think about herself. What she could have done to stop this. If they’d taken another path through the mountains, if they hadn’t stopped to look for supplies, if Abby had fired just a few seconds sooner, if she’d insisted on looking for antibiotics. She’s not sure what’s worse to consider—all she could have done to prevent this, or how little control she has after it’s too late.

Abby has never been the praying type. Still, she looks out to the woods with Lev, takes a deep breath, and whispers something desperate to the trees.

The sliding door opens behind her some minutes later. Out of the corner of her eye, she can see a thermometer in Ellie’s hand, extended out for her to take. She sluggishly accepts it and adjusts it in Lev’s mouth as Ellie watches.

“…heater’s turned down. Should be more comfortable for him at least.”

Abby feels her heart drop. Keep him comfortable. She knows what that means. Or, she thinks she does until Ellie pulls out a notepad from the pocket of her flannel. “…what’s that?”

“I dug through the medical books in the garage a bit. These should all help at least a little.” She holds the paper out for Abby to see a list of medications. Or, she thinks that’s what it is—Ellie’s handwriting is chicken scratch. She’s noted the antibiotics, the antipyretics, the painkillers. A few are marked with stars beside the names.

“Do we have any of this…?”

Ellie presses her lips together and shakes her head. “We have ibuprofen, that should at least help with the fever, but it’s not going to be enough. I’m going out to look and see what I can find.”

Abby squeezes her eyes shut and looks down, trying not to get her hopes up. It’s hard to identify how she feels, hearing that Ellie is willing to fight for Lev. But she can’t let that be enough.

“I’m going too.”

“What?” Ellie sounds vaguely annoyed, as hard as she tries to hide it. “No, you need to take care of him and stuff. I can manage without you, Abby—”

“I said I’m going.” Abby asserts, looking up to Ellie with narrowed eyes. She has to do this. She has to know there’s nothing else she could possibly be doing to fix this. “You don’t have to come with me, but I’m going. You’re not stopping me.”

Ellie stares down at her, expression unreadable before she nods. “Fine.”

The thermometer beeps. Abby takes it and squints—103.4. Too high.

She looks back up at Ellie. Neither of them speak, unsure of what there is to say. Snowflakes are nearly glowing in her auburn hair, illuminated by warmth cast from the porch light. When she lets it down, it brushes her pale collarbones. Any guise of a tan faded quickly when the snow fell—only freckles remain across the bridge of her nose.

“…just let me sit out here with him for a minute. He still needs to cool off.”

Ellie nods. Her eyes drift for a moment before she steps back inside, only gone for a moment. When she returns, Abby doesn’t look at her. Her gaze is fixed on Lev, his bleary eyes, blinking slowly up at her. Something warm and woolen wraps over her shoulders. It smells like Vetiver.

Ellie’s already disappeared back into the house when Abby looks up.

-

Ellie

Abby paces nervously by the front door as Ellie laces her boots. Lev is as safe as he’s going to get upstairs, but she can never seem to set her worries aside for him. It’s nearing midnight, and to make things worse, Lev barely has the mind to hold a weapon right now, let alone fire it. Still, a loaded shotgun sits on his bed. Abby insisted.

“You’re sure we have time?” Her voice betrays a faltering confidence. She’s been cracking her knuckles at the doorway for the last ten minutes. If the circumstances were any different, Ellie would have told her to knock it off about nine minutes ago. If Abby’s trying to look calm, it’s not working.

“Yeah.” Ellie nods as she stands, hauling her bag up onto the couch. If she’s honest, she’s not sure of anything right now. But it doesn’t matter. They can spend their time moping and panicking, or they can do something useful. And Abby doesn’t need to hear that Ellie doesn’t know what she’s doing. Not right now.

“What are you doing?” Abby stops her pacing, but continues bending and twisting her fingers anxiously.

Ellie looks up from her bag, various objects already tossed onto the couch. “We need room if we’re going to bring pills back. We’re just gonna grab everything we find and hope we got what we need.”

Abby grimaces. It’s an uncertain plan, Ellie knows, but it’s the best shot they have. Any medicine they can get their hands on could be helpful down the road. “What about your stuff?”

Ellie glances down at the discarded items beside her bag, pressing her lips together and shrugging. “Need room in the bag. Nothing you wouldn’t have.”

“You shouldn’t—”

“Guess you’re gonna have to have my back then, huh?” Ellie slings the lighter bag over her shoulders, raising an eyebrow.

She can see Abby analyze the pile—fire starting kit, a revolver, materials and various things she’s not eager to go without. Pressing her lips together, she nods, adjusting the straps on her bag.

“You ready?”

Abby swallows, casting one last glance to the stairs before she straightens and nods. “Let’s go.”

-

Abby

When the door locks behind them, Abby lets out a breath, steam rising into the night air. It’s dark, the front porch only lit by the flashlight strapped to Ellie’s backpack. Ellie doesn’t flinch as she adjusts her bag and starts off towards the driveway, only pausing to make sure Abby’s following. She’s close behind, too wary to stray from Ellie’s flashlight as she shakes power into her own.

“Do you know where we’re going?” Abby mutters as she wraps her scarf up around her face. It’s freezing. They’ve been outside for less than a minute and the cold already threatens to numb her face.

Ellie nods, tightening her coat around herself. If Abby’s cold, she can only imagine how Ellie’s feeling. “Yeah, there’s a pharmacy…maybe an hour away.”

“Have you checked out the area?”

She pauses, silent for too many seconds. “…yeah.”

“That was kind of a long pause.”

Ellie gives her a sidelong glance, glowering softly before her eyes return to the frosted over road. They’re lucky there was an extra pair of cleats lying around—otherwise, this would be a much longer journey through the ice. “What, you think I’m lying?”

“I didn’t say that.”

They walk in silence. Abby’s learned by now not to expect immediate answers from Ellie. She’ll leave Abby hanging if she feels like it, only answering when the urge strikes her.

“I…checked out the area when I first got here. I got an idea of what was there, but I heard something coming and bolted.”

“Heard what coming?”

“I didn’t stick around to fucking find out.”

Abby swallows, furrowing her eyebrows as the trees pass them by. It doesn’t shake her resolve, not in the slightest, but it’s not reassuring. Nothing could convince her to turn back at this point. Having access to a pharmacy at all is a miracle, even if they have to cut down an entire horde to get to it.

“…do you know if there’s anything still there?”

“I didn’t see any broken windows, the doors were still locked.”

“Not what I asked.”

Ellie scoffs, turning to glare at Abby. “Well it’s the answer I fucking have. You got a better idea, wolf?”

Abby grimaces. Nobody’s called her that in a long time—not even Lev calls her that anymore. As much as she misses about Seattle and the front, she doesn’t miss what they stood for. What she did to defend land she felt nothing for.

“I’m not a wolf anymore.”

“Whatever.” Ellie looks down at her boots as she walks, barely shaking her head. She probably didn’t mean anything by it, by the implication that Abby hasn’t changed at all, but she feels herself prickling at the suggestion anyway.

“That hasn’t been me for a long time, okay?”

“I don’t really give a fuck.”

“Clearly you do, Ellie. I’m not the one who’s been starting fights for no reason.”

“You seem pretty willing to fight back, though.”

Abby huffs, chewing on her lip. “Has anyone ever told you you’re fucking impossible?”

“Plenty. Say it again though—maybe it’ll stick this time.”

Somehow, the cold gets more bearable as they walk. Maybe it’s the exercise, or the blood rushing to Abby’s cheeks, or the irritation, or the stress. As tempting as it is to let Lev weigh on her mind, to ruminate on his wellbeing, it’s not going to help anything right now. She can’t do anything for him if she dies out here, too distracted to fight when it counts. She has to get back to him.

There’s no other option.

Kind of a transitionary chapter, I know. Still think I ate with that first part though...

you reach for the pillow under the boy's head and tidy it a little. he sighs softly, feverishly, since his voice is too raspy and sick to use.

"did it hurt?" you nervously caress his skin. he shakes his head that feels as heavy as lead.

"i might have a fever again" heeseung whispers, exhausted. his eyes shine faintly, and you see that his skin is also paler. he licks his dry lips.

you hum, brush away the dark locks from his forehead, then press a kiss to the hot skin.

"oh my... you're burning up." you turn to the nighstand immediately to grab the thermometer. medication is stacked on the surface: painkiller, antipyretic, throat candy, spearwort and tea in a mug. you give the device to him. you don't want to make him shiver with your hands that would feel cold against his feverish body.

instead, you set a timer for five minutes on your phone, then you think it would be good to warm up the tea, since taking the pill would be better with a warm drink. you are about to get up when heeseung weakly grabs your wrist.

"where are you going?"

"doesn't it hurt when i touch you? won't it get worse?"

"no. i need your hugs, whether i'm sick or not. especially now." he opens his arms, inviting you, a hopeful look in his eyes. you smile and snuggle up to him, which also puts a faint smile on heeseung's lips. "much better."

Emerging infectious agents: an unusual case of Metapneumovirus pneumonia in an adult patient by Graziana Francesca Greco in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), a relatively new virus, is a common cause of acute respiratory infection, especially common in the pediatric population. Despite hMPV infection in adults is possible, this rarely results in serious clinical manifestation. Here, we describe a hypoxemic respiratory failure related to pneumonia in an adult patient in whom hMPV was detected in respiratory samples.

Keywords

Human Metapneumovirus; SARS-CoV-2; Covid-19.

CASE HISTORY

A 61-yr-old caucasian man presented to the Emergency Department (ASST Mantua Hospital, Mantua, Italy) with fever up to 39°C, poorly responsive to antipyretics, nocturnal dyspnea and productive cough with mucus-purulent sputum for three days. On physical examination he appeared in good general condition, collaborating and oriented. The following parameters were recorded: blood pressure 140/90mmHg, heart rate of 100 beats min-1; respiratory rate of 23 breaths min-1; and body temperature of 38.4°C. His arterial oxygen saturation on room air was 87%. Chest examination revealed abnormal breath sounds with rhonchi and fine crackles in the middle lobe and inferior lobes bilaterally, no wheezes were heard. Laboratory findings revealed lymphocytosis (81000 x 103/µl), low platelet count (113000 x 106/µl) and an increase in alanine transaminase value (59 U/L), total bilirubin value (1.13 mg/dL) and CPR value (112 mg/L). Room air arterial blood gas analysis showed a normocapnic hypoxemia: pH 7.43, carbon dioxide tension 40.5 mmHg, oxygen tension 60.4 mmHg, and HCO3 24 mmol L-1. The  SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection test on nasopharyngeal swab was negative. A chest radiograph showed multiple, small, patchy opacities in the right upper and middle lobe and  no pleural effusion was observed. Based on these findings he was admitted to the Respiratory Department.

His medical history included chronic lymphocytic leukemia in follow-up which did not require any specific treatment. He denied taking any medications or to be a smoker, he drinks a glass of wine once a day and has no known allergies. The patient was a farmer who cultivates wheat and maize but he had no animal exposure and no travel history in the last few years. There is no family history or childhood history of respiratory complaints. He was vaccinated with three dosesagainst the SARS-CoV-2 infection (Pfizer) but not against the influenza virus.

Based on the patient’s presentation and testing results, on suspicion of bacterial pneumonia he was empirically treated with IV Piperacillin/Tazobactam, the patient required oxygen support at 3L min-1 and an inhalation therapy with Beclomethasone/Formoterol was set up ex adiuvantibus. In the following days, several microbiological investigations were carried out to determine the etiology of pneumonia: blood culture, urinoculture, sputum culture, Legionella, Haemofilus and Pneumococcus serologic tests, Legionella pneumophila and Pneumococcal urinary antigen test, all of which were negative.

A  nasopharyngeal swab FilmArray Respiratory Panel Assay (NP FARP) was then requested: it was positive for human Metapneumovirus and the result was confirmed by repeating the test. For non responder fever and further increase of CPR (230 mg/l) and PCT (0.27 ng/ml), Levofloxacin and later Meropenem were added in the perspective of a resistant bacterial etiology.  On  the 6th hospitalization day a chest computed tomography (CT) scan was obtained (Figures 1 and 2) which demonstrated large opacities with gradient borders, distributed in the peribronchial area at the right upper lobe, middle lobe and both the lower lobes; they tended to the confluence configuring parenchymal consolidations with aerial bronchogram at the level of the cost-phrenic angle. Imaging also showed bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (max diameter 3.4 x 2 cm), splenomegaly and absence of pleural effusion. Blood chemistry tests for HIV, Aspergillus antigen and galactomannan were also investigated but turned out negative. To rule out other infectious agents the patient underwent bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) into the middle lobe. BAL provides material for various microbiological and cytological tests: Gram stain, culture, Koch’s bacillus DNA, Galactomannan, Cytomegalovirus and P. Jirovecii and immunological analysis were negative. From respiratory virus panel on BAL only human Metapneumovirus was isolated, this unique microbiological data was according to the NP FARP’s result,  thus supporting and confirming the new hypothesis of a viral pneumonia in an adult patient with probable secondary mild immunosuppression due to his hematological disease. About ten days after entering the ward, there was a gradual decrease of CPR and a progressive improvement in clinical conditions and respiratory function to allow the suspension of oxygen therapy. At the end of hospitalization, pulmonary function tests were performed and showed a restrictive syndrome (FEV1/FVC 76.2, TLC 68% and VC 79% of predicted) and mild reduction of diffusion capacity (DLCO 62% and KCO 99%), probably representing the residual functional impairment due to viral pneumonia. The patient finally suspended all therapies and at discharge was referred for a one-month follow-up visit.

DISCUSSION

Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), a relatively new virus first discovered in 2001, has been detected in 4-16% of patients with acute respiratory infections [1] [2] [3]. In particular, a recent review of 48 previous articles, including 100,151 patients under the age of five hospitalized for CAP, identified this virus as a cause of pneumonia in 3.9% of patients [4]. A recent study of 1386 hospitalized adult patients identified hMPV pneumonia in only 1.64%, indicating that it was much less common than in the infant population [5]. Metapneumovirus causes disease primarily in infants, but rarely can infect immunosuppressed individuals and elderly as well. Seroprevalence studies have shown that 90-100% of 5-10 years old children have previous infection [6]. Reinfection can occur during adulthood because of defected immunity acquired during the first contact with hMPV and/or because of different viral genotypes. The incubation period varies widely but is typically 3-5 days. The disease severity depends on the patient's condition and it ranges from mild upper airway infection to life-threatening pneumonia or bronchiolitis [7]. Clinically, Metapneumovirus infection is often indistinguishable from RSV infection, particularly in the pediatric population, and common symptoms include hypoxemia, cough, fever, upper and lower airway infections and wheezing [8]. hMPV infant patients are often hospitalized  for bronchiolitis and pneumonia [9]. In young adults, a flu-like syndrome with fever may occur in a small number of instances, but infection in geriatric subjects may cause severe clinical manifestations such as pneumonia and, in rare cases, death [10].

As described in this case, it was not surprising that antibiotics and corticosteroids were administered in most patients infected with Metapneumovirus mainly for two reasons: in most cases the specific diagnostic tests for hMPV are not carried out at admission and/or physicians prefer to continue steroid and antibiotic treatment to control potential unidentified bacterial infections in patients in which no etiological agent had been identified associated with hMPV infection. The overuse of these drugs could therefore be reduced through the adoption at admission of specific diagnostic tests for such etiological agent, especially if specific risk factors are present (age, immunodepression, etc.). In addition, the adoption of such tests could reduce the nosocomial spread of this virus, allowing an early isolation of the infected patient [11].

What are the Best Options for Pain Medication for Fibromyalgia Patients?

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that causes chronic pain all over the body, often accompanied by fatigue and sleep problems. While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, there are several treatments that can help relieve symptoms. In this article, we'll discuss some of the best options for pain medication for fibromyalgia.

What are the Types of Pain Medications for Fibromyalgia?

There are a number of types of pain medications for fibromyalgia, but the best options for treating fibromyalgia depend on the specific symptoms being treated and the individual's tolerances. Common pain medications used to treat fibromyalgia include antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory medications. Many patients find relief from these treatments, but it is important to discuss the potential side effects with a doctor before starting any new medication.

How do Fibromyalgia Patients Respond to Pain Medications?

Pain medications for fibromyalgia can be quite effective in reducing the level of pain a patient experiences. However, some patients may find that these medications cause side effects that make them less likely to stay adherent to their treatment plan. Additionally, there are different types of pain medications available that may be more or less effective for different types of fibromyalgia pain. Patients should discuss their individual needs with their doctor during prescription consultation. Some common options for pain medication for fibromyalgia include:

Opioids: Opioids are among the most commonly used types of pain medication for treating chronic pain. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which then block the transmission of signals that are causing the patient's pain. Opioids can be addictive and have side effects such as euphoria, drowsiness, constipation, and nausea. However, they are also very effective at relieving chronic pain and are considered one of the most effective forms of treatment for fibromyalgia.

Triptans: Triptans are a type of medication that functions as an agonist at serotonin receptors. This means that they stimulate the production of serotonin, which reduces feelings of fatigue and helps to improve moods. Commonly prescribed triptans include sumatriptan (Imitrex), zolmitriptan (Zomig), rizatriptan (Maxalt), and almotriptan (Axert). While triptans can be quite effective at reducing pain, they also have side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. They should be taken with caution if a patient is also taking other medications that affect serotonin levels, such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs are a type of medication that work by blocking the activity of various enzymes that are responsible for causing inflammation. This class of drugs includes ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), celecoxib (Celebrex), and etodolac (Lodine). NSAIDs can be quite effective at relieving pain, but they also have some side effects, including gastrointestinal problems, liver damage, and kidney impairment. They should be used with caution if a patient is also taking other medications that can damage the kidneys or liver.

Acetaminophen: Acetaminophen is a type of medication that functions as an analgesic and antipyretic. It works by reducing the level of inflammation in the body and helping to relieve pain. Acetaminophen can be dangerous if taken in high doses or if it is taken with other medications that can increase the risk of liver damage. It is generally safe to take acetaminophen in low doses without any additional precautions.

Potential Side Effects of Pain Medications for Fibromyalgia

If you are experiencing chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, there are a number of medications that can help. However, all medications have potential side effects. It is important to speak with your doctor about the best option for you and to be aware of any potential side effects.

The following are some of the most common side effects associated with pain medications for fibromyalgia:

Drowsiness

Nausea and vomiting

Anxiety and irritability

Restlessness and insomnia

Mix one tablespoon of pure honey (not the cheap sugar-mixed squeezy bear stuff, good quality pure honey, please!) into a little hot water in a glass or mug until it melts, fill the rest with cold water, so it's a nice not-too-cold-or-too-hot drink. Drink up! Soothes the throat and pure honey is a natural antibiotic and antiseptic, with no drawbacks (unless you have particular allergies to certain pollens or are a newborn baby...)

(An effervescent vitamin C tablet in the morning before breakfast is also good for strengthening immunity, although the honey's gentler on the throat.)

If you're having trouble breathing or sawllowing and never had your tonsils removed, get thee to an ER or A&E to have your throat examined. It could be tonsillitis and, unlike a viral cold or flu where we just treat symptoms, you will need a one week course of antibiotics to kill that bacteria, or it'll progress to scarlet fever (yes, this is what made babies go blind or deaf and sloooowly killed Amy March.)

For those of you who cannot afford to go to the ER because you're living under the thumb of greedy capitalists...

It's typically treated with amoxicillin 500 MG (alone for for kids and breastfeeding moms, combined with clavunate as augmentin 625 for most adults) 1 tablets twice a day 12 hours apart (penicillin allergy? Go with ceftriaxone instead!)

Use antipyretic (fever reducing medication) of choce: usually, paracetamol 500 (one tablet, not two!) every six hours, if your fever and pain return faster than that, every four hours.

Anti-histamine (allergy medication), a single dose a day, usually about 10 MG, one tablet, like citrezine or loratidine (careful, second is sleep-indcing, the first is not, but some people get sleepy anyway!) once daily helps reduce the swelling in your throat.

The latter two medications help with cold and flu symptoms, which you can't beat with antibiotics, because nothing kills viruses, so you just have to wait for the disease to run its course.

sore throats might be the stupidest response to illness i've ever experienced. oh you want to eat? drink?? breathe air??? TEN THOUSAND KNIVES ATTACK

Tylenol gets thrown into many cold/flu medicines because it's an antipyretic on top of being a painkiller and doesn't have the same addictive properties as narcotics.

Every medication you take, not just Tylenol, has a lethal dose. Every medication can adversely affect your health if you're not careful.

Read the labels on your medicine bottles before you take them.

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Acetylsalicylic Acid

Acetylsalicylic Acid, commonly known as aspirin, is a salicylate medication with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Its chemical structure includes an acetyl group, enhancing its tolerability compared to salicylic acid. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins by blocking the action of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. This mechanism underlies its efficacy in relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and lowering fever.

BOOST YOUR WELLNESS WITH NUTRIHERBS: THE POWER OF ASHWAGANDHA AND GUDUCHI CAPSULES FOR STRESS, ANXIETY, AND IMMUNITY

In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress and maintaining optimal health are top priorities for many. Stress and anxiety have become part of everyday life, often affecting not just your mental well-being but also your physical health. However, with the right supplements, it’s possible to regain control and boost overall wellness. Nutriherbs Ashwagandha Capsules offer a natural, powerful solution to control stress, anxiety, and promote healthier bones, while Guduchi works as a natural immunity booster. Together, they form a robust combination for overall health and wellness.

Let’s dive into the benefits of these natural supplements and see how they can transform your health.

What Is Ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha, also known as "Indian Ginseng," is an ancient medicinal herb widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. Known for its adaptogenic properties, ashwagandha helps the body cope with stress by balancing cortisol levels (the stress hormone). It’s a natural stress reliever that doesn’t just work on the mental aspect but extends its benefits to physical health too.

Key Benefits of Ashwagandha Capsules:

Controls Stress and Anxiety: One of the main reasons people turn to ashwagandha is for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. It helps modulate the body's stress response by lowering cortisol levels, providing a sense of calm and relaxation. Unlike chemical-based medications, ashwagandha offers a natural way to control anxiety without unwanted side effects.

Promotes Healthier Bones: Ashwagandha is also effective in promoting bone health. It strengthens bones by stimulating osteoblast activity (cells responsible for bone formation). This is especially beneficial for people looking to maintain strong and healthy bones as they age.

Boosts Energy and Vitality: Chronic stress can lead to fatigue and burnout. Ashwagandha helps in boosting energy levels and improving vitality by supporting adrenal health. This, in turn, leads to enhanced physical performance and better endurance during day-to-day activities.

Enhances Cognitive Function: Not only does ashwagandha help with emotional balance, but it also improves brain function. It supports better memory, focus, and overall cognitive function by promoting antioxidant activity in the brain.

Guduchi: A Natural Immunity Booster

While ashwagandha focuses on stress reduction and bone health, Guduchi, another wonder herb in Ayurvedic medicine, is primarily known for its immune-boosting properties. It’s often referred to as “Amrit” (the divine nectar) because of its multiple health benefits.

Key Benefits of Guduchi Capsules:

Enhances Immunity: Guduchi helps in building a stronger immune system, which is essential for protecting the body against infections and diseases. It is rich in antioxidants and supports healthy immune responses by fighting free radicals and preventing oxidative stress.

Supports Respiratory Health: Guduchi is effective in treating respiratory infections and conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties help clear respiratory pathways and promote easier breathing.

Detoxifies the Body: Guduchi acts as a natural detoxifier, helping to eliminate toxins from the body and promoting healthier skin, digestion, and liver function.

Anti-inflammatory Benefits: The herb’s potent anti-inflammatory properties help reduce inflammation in the body, which is crucial in managing chronic conditions like arthritis and autoimmune disorders.

How Ashwagandha and Guduchi Together Boost Immunity

When combined, ashwagandha and guduchi form a powerful synergy that boosts both mental and physical health. Ashwagandha reduces stress and anxiety, which is critical since chronic stress can weaken the immune system. On the other hand, guduchi strengthens the body's defenses against infections and diseases, ensuring optimal immune function.

By including Nutriherbs Ashwagandha and Guduchi Capsules in your daily routine, you can experience enhanced emotional well-being and stronger immunity, helping you stay resilient against life's everyday challenges.

Why Choose Nutriherbs Ashwagandha and Guduchi Supplements?

Nutriherbs focuses on providing high-quality, natural supplements that are safe and effective. The Ashwagandha and Guduchi capsules are made from premium-grade herbs and are free from harmful chemicals, fillers, and additives. Each capsule delivers the full potency of these medicinal herbs, ensuring maximum benefit.

How to Use Nutriherbs Ashwagandha and Guduchi Capsules

Taking these supplements is simple and easy. For best results, it’s recommended to take one Ashwagandha capsule in the morning and one Guduchi capsule in the evening with water or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Conclusion

Whether you’re looking to manage stress, improve bone health, or boost your immune system, Nutriherbs Ashwagandha and Guduchi Capsules provide a natural and effective solution. These supplements work harmoniously to enhance your overall health and well-being, helping you live a balanced, healthier life.

Can Myospaz Forte Relieve Your Muscle Pain?

Muscle pain, also known as myalgia, is a common ailment that can range from mild discomfort to severe agony, affecting individuals of all ages and lifestyles. Whether caused by strenuous physical activity, underlying health conditions, or simple wear and tear, finding effective relief for muscle pain is essential for maintaining quality of life and functionality. One such remedy that individuals turn to is Myospaz Forte, a muscle relaxant and pain reliever. But can Myospaz Forte truly alleviate your muscle pain? Let's delve into the details.

Understanding Myospaz Forte

Myospaz Forte is a medication that combines two active ingredients: Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone. Paracetamol is a well-known analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain and fever. Chlorzoxazone, on the other hand, is a muscle relaxant that acts by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations that are sent to the brain.

The Mechanism of Action

When it comes to muscle pain, the combination of Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone in Myospaz Forte offers a dual-action approach. Paracetamol helps to reduce pain and discomfort associated with muscle aches, while Chlorzoxazone targets muscle spasms and tension, promoting relaxation and relief.

Efficacy in Muscle Pain Management

Clinical studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that Myospaz Forte can be effective in managing muscle pain caused by various factors, including muscle strains, sprains, tension, and other musculoskeletal conditions. By targeting both pain and muscle spasms simultaneously, Myospaz Forte aims to provide comprehensive relief for individuals suffering from muscle-related discomfort.

Dosage and Administration

As with any medication, it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by healthcare professionals or as indicated on the product packaging. Myospaz Forte is typically taken orally, with dosages tailored to the individual's age, weight, and the severity of their muscle pain. It is essential to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage to prevent potential side effects or complications.

Safety and Side Effects

While Myospaz Forte is generally considered safe when taken as directed, like any medication, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects of Myospaz Forte may include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and gastrointestinal disturbances. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions while taking this medication.

Conclusion: Is Myospaz Forte Right for You?

In conclusion, Myospaz Forte can be a valuable option for individuals seeking relief from muscle pain and discomfort. By combining the analgesic properties of Paracetamol with the muscle relaxant effects of Chlorzoxazone, Myospaz Forte offers a comprehensive approach to managing muscle-related ailments. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before initiating any new medication regimen to ensure its suitability for your specific condition and medical history.

If you are experiencing persistent or severe muscle pain, it is recommended to seek medical advice to determine the underlying cause and explore appropriate treatment options. Remember, effective management of muscle pain involves a holistic approach that may include medication, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and other interventions tailored to your individual needs.
