Flat Feet
Flat feet, known medically as Pes Planus, are commonly seen on examining children and some adults.
Though essentially a normal finding, and generally nothing to be concerned about, they can cause pain on walking or running and it is very common for us to find that children and young adults who complain of sore legs, hips or backs whilst exercising have flat feet. This simple article is intended to help you understand flat feet and to treat yourself. If you have symptoms that do not improve quickly, please see your doctor.
Pain Relief for Children
Pain Relief for Children
We often see children in pain from various causes. This page provides the correct doses of medication for children in pain.
Firstly, please note that, except in the case of suspected trauma to the upper airways, it is ALWAYS a good idea to give appropriate medication to a child in pain. This never affects our ability to diagnose a problem and often helps.
Cough
Cough
Cough is a very common and distressing symptom with many causes. By far the most common cause is a viral infection. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia are the most common of the non-viral causes.
Sadly, cough is very difficult to treat. A cough is protective in nature, clearing mucus and foreign materiel from the airways and the body resists efforts to suppress it.

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are very clever devices. Rather than using electricity to heat the air directly, they use it to move heat from one place to another.
