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.
The veins in your legs transport blood to your heart. When valves within them become damaged or weakened, the blood instead accumulates in the veins. This causes the characteristic bulging blue veins associated with this disorder; however, it is possible to have symptoms without visible varicose veins.
