September 2024 Archive: Quick Health Guides from The Informed Squid

Welcome to the September 2024 roundup. This month we covered everything from medication side‑effects to how your mouth can affect your skin. Below you’ll find compact summaries of each post, so you can grab the info that matters most to you.

Medication Spotlights

Celecoxib and Anxiety – We looked at the surprising link between the popular NSAID celecoxib and feelings of anxiety. Real‑world stories and a few recent studies show that some users report increased worry, especially when the dose is high or they combine it with other stimulants. If you notice jittery thoughts after starting celecoxib, talk to your doctor about alternatives or a dose tweak.

Prilocaine for Burns – Prilocaine isn’t just for dental work; it’s a solid option for burn pain. The article breaks down how the drug numbs the area, reduces the need for stronger opioids, and speeds up healing when used correctly. We also share tips on applying prilocaine patches safely.

Levocetirizine in Pregnancy – Expecting moms often wonder if antihistamines are safe. Our guide outlines what current research says about levocetirizine, highlighting that most data point to low risk but that you should still keep your OB‑GYN in the loop, especially if you have severe allergies.

Nitrofurantoin and the Immune System – This antibiotic is a go‑to for urinary infections, but it can also interact with immune function. We explain how nitrofurantoin may affect white blood cells and suggest ways to support your immunity while completing the prescription.

Skin Issues & Oral Health – Did you know that gum disease can show up as skin flare‑ups? The piece explores the two‑way street between dental plaque and conditions like eczema or acne. Simple oral‑care tweaks—like flossing daily and using an antibacterial mouthwash—can calm stubborn skin problems.
