It just means the virus migrated downwards. Some of us are more prone to have colds develop into bronchitis. READ MORE
My son has become reliant on taking Tylenol?
Plain Tylenol is only dangerous if her takes more than 4 extra-strength tablets a day. If, however, it's Tylenol #3 or #4, that contains codeine and is truly addicting (plus it could lead to liver damage in large amounts). But the codeine stuff is prescription-only unless he gets it illegally. READ MORE
How long does polypectomy surgery take?
The surgeon can make a guess...but only a guess. Probably no more than an hour, but your family will think it takes 3 times as long because of all the preop preparation and the nurses monitoring your recovery from anesthesia. READ MORE
