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.
Complications. Vein disease does not go away by itself and may worsen over time if ignored or treatment is delayed. Complications of untreated varicose veins may include: Thrombophlebitis: Blood flow in the superficial varicose veins is often sluggish and may result in blood clots near the surface of the skin. Superficial vein thrombosis (clots) rarely cause serious problems but can be very painful and may require further evaluation and treatment.
