Most cases of glandular fever are caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). If you come into close contact with infected saliva and you are not immune (resistant) to glandular fever, EBV will infect the cells on the lining inside of your throat.

https://www.epicnaturalhealth.com/13-health-benefits-of-lemongrass-you-need-to-know/
If you enjoy cooking your own recipes, you may have seen lemongrass floating around in a few of them recently. Although you might be more familiar with it as a candle scent, lemongrass is actually a natural herb that we’ve been using in our cooking for as long as records date back. You’re most likely to find it in sweet teas and Thai dishes, as well as dishes including meat, seafood, and vegetables.
It can be tempting to simply cut out lemongrass and other “finicky” ingredients that add flavour but not substance to a dish, but by doing so, you’re really missing out on what the herb has to offer. Found in Asia, Africa and Australia, lemongrass is a fantastic source of nutrients that can help with everything from weight loss to cancer treatment.
It’s likely that you’ve tried lemongrass before if you’re a fan of dining out. It’s distinctive for its citrusy, lemony flavour, which is derived from the stalk of the plant. While the flavour won’t overpower your dishes, it gives a tangy kick that’s similar to that of the juice of a lemon or lime. But aside from its delicious flavour, there are so many reasons to incorporate lemongrass into your diet. Stay tuned to listen out for the top 13 health benefits of lemongrass.
No1 Boosts immune system and aids in weight loss
Lemongrass is a low-calorie herb, which makes it ideal for including in your diet if you’re watching your weight. If you opt for lemongrass tea, you’ll find it a satisfying beverage that fills you up, keeping you fuller for longer and making you less likely to reach for a sugary snack instead. Because it’s also a natural diuretic, over time, lemongrass will help you to lose some water weight.
Lemongrass contains polyphenols, a category of compounds found in lots of plant foods, that we know to increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Both of these contribute to weight loss. There’s even some evidence to suggest that lemongrass may be able to boost metabolism and directly assist in weight loss.
No2 Kills cancer cells
A recent study has found that lemongrass contains a number of important antioxidants, which may be able to fight off free radicals in the body. Free radicals attack cells, damaging them and causing them to divide unnaturally, which can eventually lead to cancer. It’s thought that lemongrass may be able to not only fight off the cancer-causing free radicals in your body – and therefore inhibiting the early stages of cancer, especially that of the liver – but it may also induce cell death in cancer patients who are undergoing treatment.
Even more interestingly, some studies have also shown how lemongrass extracts might be effective as a nontoxic alternative to cancer treatment. Research in this area is still lacking, but it’s promising to think that we may be able to naturally treat cancer with lemongrass one day.
No3 Improves digestion
Finding a natural remedy for stomach cramping and other digestive issues can be difficult. Luckily, lemongrass is a solution that actually works for the majority of people. It has a number of anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for settling the stomach and aiding in digestion. A component called citral, found in lemongrass, helps food to digest quickly and effectively, which is why lemongrass tea is favoured as an after-dinner drink.
No4 Cures stomach disorders
We’ve talked about lemongrass for digestion, and on a similar note, studies have also shown that lemongrass can help to cure stomach disorders and treat gastric ulcers. Impressively, research suggests that lemongrass can play a big part in fighting the infections caused by various harmful pathogens. It’s also effective in preventing gastrointestinal disorders and reducing inflammation, which may help relieve pain from gastric ulcers, colitis, diarrhea, nausea and stomach aches.
No5 Treats cough and cold symptoms
There are many natural remedies out there for coughs and colds, but none quite so effective as lemongrass. Because lemongrass is a natural immunity booster, it might help you to ward off coughs and colds in the first place. But if you do find yourself feeling under the weather,

Next time your little one strikes a fever it doesn’t mean you need to get overheated. There are a handful of things to remember to help you keep a cool head. First, it’s not considered a fever until the temperature tops 100.4.

“We like to know about fevers over the 100.4 mark. Anything above the 103.5 — 104 range can be associated with significant infections,” says Dr. Nancy Witham, pediatrician with Lee Memorial Health System.

Secondly, fever is a healthy response for the body.

“People always assume the fever itself may be part of the sickness, but a fever is oftentimes what your body is doing to help you fight off an infection,” says Dr. Witham.

Third on our list is to treat the symptoms, not the number. Instead of focusing on the thermometer’s fluctuations, pay attention to what’s making your child feel bad.

“You’re giving your fever reducer not so much to bring down the fever. It’ll do that hopefully, but it is also going to make them feel a little bit more comfortable. Maybe make them a little bit more likely to drink the juice you think they need,” says Dr. Witham.

Fourth up – in babies use a rectal temperature. A rectal thermometer gives true core temperature whereas forehead and ear thermometers aren’t nearly as accurate.

And finally, keep your doctor updated. And tell them about symptoms that might be a sign of something more serious.

“We would like to know where you’ve taken your temperature and what you’ve gotten, what you’re noticing as a parent. Your child is lying around even after the anti fever medicine and has that stiff neck. You might also want to notice any skin rashes; that can be very important,” says Dr. Witham.

Another important point, is to stay calm, most fevers subside in a matter of days.

An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more. In the U.S., millions of people injure themselves every year. These injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, or walking across the street.
Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They often happen because of an accident, but surgery, sutures, and stitches also cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren’t serious, but it is important to clean them. Serious and infected wounds may require first aid followed by a visit to your doctor. You should also seek attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get the dirt out, or it does not heal.
Other common types of injuries include
• Bruises
• Burns
• Dislocations
• Fractures
• Sprains and strains
