Postnasal drip is a condition when more mucus than average gathers from your nose or sinuses, and drips down the back of your throat or pharynx.

You will naturally have mucus because the glands in your nose and throat make it.

Mucus is useful because it functions by:

•Moistening and cleansing the lining of your nose.
•Moistening the air that you breathe.
•Trapping and clearing off anything you inhale that may possibly hurt your bronchus and lungs.
•Fighting infections by destroying bacteria and viruses before they can come inside to invade your bronchus and lungs.

Mucus is normal, and you normally produce a quart of it (946 millilitres) in your nose a day.

Have a cough that seems to be worse at night? It could be due to a postnasal drip, where your excess mucus irritates the back of your throat.

But in 2016, a study produced a global height database and showed how the world population has grown in the last century. Interestingly, countries have different growth rates, proving that genetics isn’t a singular factor that determines height.

Why gut health is important

Good gut health helps ensure that your child’s body can properly digest food and absorb nutrients that are essential for growth. The gut also plays a role in immunity as it acts as their body’s first line of defence against infection. Furthermore, it can also influence a child's mood (due to the large concentration of nerve cells called the enteric nervous system (ENS), leading to the gut being called the ‘second brain’).

Why it's important to ensure good gut health and how to teach kids about it A good gut health helps ensure proper food digestion and nutrient absorbtion.

He has four tips for relief from the pain:

People with lactose intolerance are unable to fully digest the sugar (lactose) in milk. As a result, they have diarrhea, gas and bloating after eating or drinking dairy products. The condition, which is also called lactose malabsorption, is usually harmless, but its symptoms can be uncomfortable.

Too little of an enzyme produced in your small intestine (lactase) is usually responsible for lactose intolerance. You can have low levels of lactase and still be able to digest milk products. But if your levels are too low you become lactose intolerant, leading to symptoms after you eat or drink dairy.

Lactose intolerance-Lactose intolerance - Symptoms & causes - Mayo Clinic Not being able to fully digest the sugar (lactose) in milk can lead to diarrhea, gas and bloating after eating or drinking dairy products.

It’s usually caused by an infection near the a**s, which results in a collection of pus (abscess) in the nearby tissue.

A Dermatologist Addresses 3 Common Misconceptions About Dry Skin

MISCONCEPTION 1
DRY SKIN IS NOTHING SERIOUS.
Dr Felix Yap Boon Bin points out that this is not always true.

“Lack of water or skin dehydration will cause dry skin to peel, crack, irritate, itch and become sensitive,” he explains. “If we scratch the itch, it may lead to damage of the skin’s epidermis, causing it to become thinner or eventually recede away.”

•under your arms
•on your eyelids
•under your breasts
•around your bottom
