Q
THE DOCTOR SAYS
Doctors, Dentists
Cure Mouth Ills
"DENNIS THE MENACE
Written (or
Newspaper Enterprise A&sd.
Q Our son developed a sure
mouth and the doctor said it
was trench mouth. He gave him
penicillin and arsenic shots and
has him use peroxide as a mouth
wash but, after live months, his
mouth is still sore. What causes
it? Is it contagious'.'
A Trench mouth or Vincent's
angina is caused by a germ
known as Borrelia vincentii. It
is believed to be transmitted
through contaminated eating uten
' sils so, in order to protect other
members of the family, all dish
es used by your son should be
boiled.
j.? The disease may also be spread
bv kissing.
Vigorous treatment with the
- drugs your doctor is now using
'usually clears up this condition
,Miut when penicillin fails, another-
; antibiotic, tetracycline, should be
- tried. Some cases are difficult to
treat and in such cases the doc-
tor should work in close coopera
tion with a dentist because the
disease cannot exist in gums prop
J'crly cared for.
Q What does it mean when you
I see rainbow-colored rings around
lights at night? I have been
J wearing glasses since 1945 but
have been seeing the rainbows
only recently.
v A This could be due to a film
I of grease on your glasses but if
.v this were the cause the rain-
bows would disappear when you
-looked at the lights without your
I glasses or if you cleaned your
glasses with soap and water or
'. silica paper. The commonest
cause of rainbows around lights is
I glaucoma. Since this is a serious
J condition for which early treat-
ment is necessary to save your
sight, you should see your eye
doctor without delay.
Q Can a very nervous per
son have a normal child? Woulc
pregnancy help such a person 01
ivuuld it make her worse? Woulc
evcre nervousness in the mother
cause p. child to be deformed?
A A person who is cxtremeh
nervous would have as good v
raance as anyone else ol hav
ming a child that was physically
normal at birth but such a per
on would be unlikely to provide
the calm surroundings that would
insure the best chance (or the
child's normal emotional develop
ment. Although pregnancy would
not necessarily make a nervous
person more nervous, it would
certainly not cure the nervous
ness. Your best course would be
to seek aid in getting over the
nervousness and then decide
whether or not you want to have
a child.
Q I have had myositis in my
legs for two vears and it is get-
ging worse. Aspirin and codeine
do not help. I get very little sleep
when it is bad. Cortisone helped
some at first but doesn't help
now. What treatment do you ad
vise?
A Since chronic myositis or
Inflammation of a muscle sheath
is often due to some focus of in
fection i the teeth, nasal sinuses
or gall bladder i. a careful search
should be made for such a cause.
Many a sufferer has been cured of
myositis almost overnight follow
ing the removal of a crowned
tooth that had a painless smol
dering abscess at its roots. The
drugs you have been taking arc
the ones usually prescribed. They
usually give some relief but, since
they do not remove the cause, the
relief is short-lived. Applying an
electric pad for 20 to 30 minutes
two or three times a day often
gives more lasting relief than the
pills but even that docs not usual
ly get rid of the cause.
