Causes of TinnitusWritten by Jason Rickard
Tinnitus is another mysterious condition that affects people of all ages including children, people from various cultures living in all types of environments. Tinnitus has no real known cause but has been associated with exposure to noise. Exposure to noise could be a one time blast of a shotgun or a continuous closeness to repetitive sounds such as loud music blasting from a radio or even construction equipment such as a jackhammer. But for many people that have Tinnitus, noise was not cause. Some of alternate causes were:1.)Allergic reactions to some foods have brought on temporary Tinnitus in some individuals. These foods include red wine, any grain bases alcoholic beverage, cheese, and even chocolate. Even an artificial sweetener aspartame has been linked to Tinnitus. 2.) It has been noted that people that already have Tinnitus had an increase in condition when marijuana was used.
| | Reasons Infants Have ColicWritten by Jason Rickard
No one really knows reason that some infants from around 2 weeks old to about 6 months of age have colic. There are varied opinions offered from doctors, mothers, and fathers that have had babies with colic. Some people believe that colic is caused from gas or intolerance to breast milk or even baby formula. Sometimes, after a child burps or passes gas they may have some relief, but crying does not cease. Changing type of formula, switching between breast milk and formula also does not change crying episodes. So, these reasons can be ruled out in majority of colicky babies. Nearly every baby has a period of crying in evening hours and with colicky infants some researchers believe that these babies have a more sensitive feeling during this time that can bring on sudden crying associated with colic. Since most babies experiencing Colic curl up in a ball and seem to be in pain, that is most widely held theory. Studies have been performed on infants with Colic and their brainwaves were measured for signs of pain. There were no signs of pain with any of babies that were tested. Citing these studies many doctors rule out pain as a possible cause.
