    Your family needs a well-stocked medicine cabinet so you can respond quickly when an illness or accident strikes.Here is a basic list for pain, headaches, and fevers:💊 Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol)💊 Ibuprofen (such as Advil and Motrin) or naproxen (such as Aleve)💊 Thermometer: digital for babies as a rectal reading is most accurate. Four years old + it's fine to use an oral thermometer. (Oral thermometers can often also be used under the arm for kids over 3 months who won't sit still for a rectal reading but aren't ready to hold a thermometer in the mouth.)💊 Petroleum Jelly or K-Y Jelly to lubricate a rectal thermometerRemember to place all medicines out of the reach of children and pets!#headachespainfever#whatsinyourmedicinecabinet#OTCmedications#OTCmeds

    Tracheostomy and Swallowing!Navigating the world of tracheostomy patients and their swallowing prowess is like a culinary adventure with a medical twist! Before savoring the joy of oral feeds, it's crucial to ensure safety. 🩺 Checking the trach tube size, cuff status, and respiratory stability are the opening acts. 😮💨 Start with a bedside swallow evaluation, checking for signs like coughing or throat clearing. 👄 Assess lip, tongue, jaw and tooth strength—imagine it's a mini workout for a foodie flex! 💦 Conduct a water swallow test using cervical auscultation for 1mL > 3mL > 5mL > Cup drinking and check for swallow sounds and pooling in valleculae & pyriform sinuses. 🩻 For instrumental evaluations, VFSS steals the spotlight, capturing the movement of liquids and solids non-invasively. While FEES-ST helps to figure out the anatomical structure and its functions in a detailed manner.Bon appétit, ensuring every swallow is a symphony of safety and satisfaction!ORIONS SPEECHIE #slp #medslp #dysphagia #slpeeps #asterdmhealthcare #speechtherapist #speechpathologist #diet #ent #medicine #feedingtherapy #feedingtheworld

    🤔 I love this illustration because it helps first-time patients see what filler (when done right) looks like, before & immediately after. This absolutely stunning (inside & out, truly, she is so special) patient had two filler syringes placed during this visit. Can you guess where we injected? 🥸 Share your thoughts below! We'll most definitely reveal the location(s) if no one gets it and give props to whomever does! I know some of you will identify some areas, and I am excited if anyone can spot them all! 🤗Info@lakecountryaesthetics.com 262-208-4555 #aesthetic#medicine#medical #aesthetics #skills #knowledge #eyes #facialbalance #harmony #feminism #naturalresults #staysafe #noworries #selfcare #desire#instagood#lakecountryaestheticshttps://lnkd.in/gbbYu9pD
