Immunization is the best method for preventing infectious diseases. Standard immunizations of infants and children include those for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and hepatitis B (HVB) . 4 The risk factors for coronary artery disease that can be modified to prevent myocardial infarction (MI) are cigarette smoking, hypertension, an elevated serum cholesterol level, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption. In addition to an elevated total serum cholesterol level, an elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL) level and a decreased high-density lipoprotein(HDL) level are significant risk factors. TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMS Pain 5 Pain is the most common of all symptoms and often requires treatment before its specific cause is known. The ideal method for treating pain is to eliminate the cause such as to surgically remove an inflamed structure, to apply hot compresses to a muscle spasm, or to set a fractured bone in a cast. Alternatives to drug therapy, such as physical therapy, should be relied on whenever possible. The analgesic drugs most often used to alleviate mild and moderate pain are the nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin. Nausea and Vomiting 6 Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms that may arise from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including gastroenteritis or bowel obstruction, from medications, such as analgesics, or from nervous system disturbances such as migraine headaches or motion sickness. Treatable causes must be ruled out before resorting to antiemetic drugs.
