  • What do high lymphocytes mean?

    Many people have a high lymphocyte count as their normal. This is very common in those of African and Mediterranean descent. As long as you feel fine and the lymphocytes are not reported as abnormal, atypical, or immature, this is very likely normal for you. Your doctor can run a special test, immunophenotyping, to further characterize the lymphocytes which will determine if they are normal or worrisome. READ MORE

  • How do I get water out of my ear?

    You might have wax in your ear that is preventing the water from draining completely. Get some Debrox, an ear wax softener, which is over the counter from the pharmacy. Put a dropper full in your ear and keep it in with a cotton ball for 30 minutes. Take a warm shower and let the water run off the top of your head and into the affected ear. Repeat every day for up to a week. The wax should come out and with it, the feeling of water trapped in your ear canal. If not, have your doctor take a look in your ear. You may have fluid in the middle ear or even an ear infection requiring a decongestant and/or an antibiotic. READ MORE

  • Ongoing headache - what to do?

    It's time to go see your doctor. A persistent headache may be due to muscle tension, sinus infection, allergies or an elevated blood pressure. However, it may be a sign of something more serious. Your doctor should do a thorough exam and possibly blood work as well as a CT or MRI scan of the head to look for serious causes of headache. Don't delay. READ MORE
