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 vein may rupture very suddenly causing bleeding into the tissues or through the surface of the skin if the skin has become thin overlying the vein. Bleeding varicose veins may be small amounts on sporadic occasions or it may be life-threatening with blood squirting many feet across the room.
