Acetaminophen (Tylenol and others) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) can be used to treat a fever. Aspirin should not be used in children or adolescents to control fever. The prognosis for a fever depends on the cause. Most cases of fever are self-limited and resolve with treatment of symptoms.
Varicose veins look like swollen blue or dark purple veins, usually appearing on the legs and feet. For most people, they are only a cosmetic problem. If a varicose vein bursts, it can result in painful bruising and swelling.
Varicose veins may be more common in some families (inherited). Increased pressure in the veins may cause varicose veins. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition with blood clots in the deep veins. This condition does not usually occur with varicose veins. That is because varicose veins affect the veins close to the surface of the skin.
