​When we sleep our facial muscles, as well as our swallowing reflexes, are totally relaxed. Since saliva gets accumulated in the mouth while we sleep, it can slowly start dripping because the relaxed facial muscles may lead to a slightly open mouth. Therefore, we end up having a wet pillow that’s not very comfortable to sleep on.

Excess drooling or hypersalivation can be a sign of a neurological disease or the result of nasal congestion. Also, people who already had issues with health, like a stroke, tend to drool more often and more excessively.

One of the main reasons for drooling is a blocked nose, which makes a person breathe through their mouth and may lead to drooling. Cleaning and unblocking nasal sinuses could be a good way out of having a wet pillow every night. Here are some ways that can help unclog your sinuses:
​

• a hot shower will clear the nose and allow normal breathing at night;
• essential oils, especially ones containing eucalyptus, will help you breathe more freely and also help you get better sleep;
• using products that help clear sinuses like Vick’s Vaporub will unclog the nose and allow for better airflow.

Also, make sure you treat any nasal infection once it appears. Otherwise, you may end up getting various complications such as an eternally clogged nose, for example.

​This might sound pretty obvious but sleeping on your back is a pose where all the saliva produced by your body stays in your mouth and doesn’t drool out. Conversely, if you sleep on your side or on your belly, the accumulated saliva will likely drip out of your mouth and on to the pillow.

If you feel it’s too difficult to stay in one position for the entire night, try tucking yourself in to stabilize your body.

​Sleep apnea is a major disorder where a person’s breathing doesn’t go as smoothly as it should. It, in turn, leads to a constantly interrupted sleep, waking up during the night, a feeling of tiredness in the morning, and a feeling of drowsiness throughout the day.

Drooling and snoring are the main indicators of having sleep apnea. If you have any suspicion that you may have this disorder, contact your doctor to discuss in depth. Remember that factors like smoking increase the risk of getting the disorder and issues with breathing in general.

​Extra weight plays a crucial role in your sleeping process. More than half of the population in the USA that suffer from sleep apnea are overweight.

​Consulting a doctor can help you get the right device for your mouth that will help reduce drooling. These can be different dental appliances that provide a better mouth closure or help with swallowing and, therefore, help you get better sleep.

​If you are taking any medicine, make sure it doesn’t cause the production of excess saliva. Some antibiotics, for example, could cause hypersalivation and be the reason for excess drooling.

​Keeping your head on a higher pillow while you’re sleeping can reduce drooling. So remember to fluff your pillow up before you go to bed and make sure you feel comfortable lying on it.

​Sometimes doctors might recommend getting surgery and removing glands. It usually happens when there are serious neurological issues hiding behind hypersalivation. Of course, before doing it, any doctor will want to try non-surgical methods first and offer surgery only in case the first ones don’t help.

​Michael Rockefeller, the son of the famous millionaire Nelson Rockefeller, was an ethnographer and an anthropologist. As a child, Michael loved history and anthropology. Later, he decided to become a scientist and entered Harvard University. After the end of his studies, the young specialist wanted to go on a scientific expedition to Oceania to study the lives of the local people. His father supported Michael and paid for the trip.

In the fall of 1961, Michael went on an expedition to New Guinea with a Dutch ethnographer René Wassing. Accompanied by 2 guides, the scientists traveled around the places the locals lived in and exchanged the things they had for the things of the locals. Sometime later, they had a unique collection but Michael didn’t want to stop there. The scientist went to a local Asmat tribe on a boat. The tribe was famous for eating people.

On the way to the island, the boat capsized and everyone except for Michael decided to go back: he wanted to swim to the destination. After that, he was never seen again. Many people think drowning or being eaten by crocodiles are unlikely versions. According to the most likely version, he was killed and eaten by the tribe.

​Amelia Earhart was an aviation pioneer and a writer. She was the first female pilot to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1928. In 1937, Amelia decided to make a tour around the world with flight navigator Fred Noonan. The pilots managed to make most of the way. They still had to fly 11,000 kilometers before their final target over the Pacific.

However, after some time, the plane was lost. According to experts, the weather conditions were really bad, they were running out of gas, and the radio didn’t work well. The search for the plane lasted for more than 2 weeks but there was no result. There were a lot of wild theories about what happened to Amelia — some people even think that the Japanese kidnapped her. But a researcher from the Tennessee University thinks that the remains found in 1940 most likely belonged to the famous pilot.

​Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a famous French writer, poet, and professional pilot. On July 31, 1944, the writer was piloting a French plane. The pilot was supposed to do an aero photoshoot near the Alps. But the plane never returned to the airport and was labeled missing.

For decades, there have been many mystic theories on what happened to the famous writer. But on September 7, 1998, the captain of the ship “Horizon” found a bracelet at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea with the name of the writer and the name of his wife. In 2000, a diver reported having seen a plane on the bottom of the sea where the bracelet had been found.

In 2008, researchers who were still hoping to find the truth contacted Horst Rippert, a German pilot who shot the writer’s plane down. According to Rippert, on July 31, 1944, he saw a plane with the French colors and decided to attack. The German pilot saw the plane go down into the sea. The former German pilot also said that he loved Saint-Exupéry’s books. And if he had known it was him, he wouldn’t have shot.

​Richey Edwards was an English musician and the guitar player of an alternative rock band, Manic Street Preachers that was famous in the ’90s. Edwards, just like many rock musicians, suffered from depression and anorexia. On February 1, 1995, the band was supposed to fly to the U.S. for a promo tour and Richey never showed up for the flight. At 7 am, the musician left his hotel room to meet the rest of the band at the airport. But he didn’t come. The musicians started looking for Richey but found nothing.

This is a really strange case because Richey was seen several times in strange places: at a taxi stand in Newport and at a station in Severn View. The search for the musician was going on for more than 10 years. On November 23, 2009, Richey was finally declared dead.

​Oscar Zeta Acosta was an American lawyer, writer, and activist, famous for being friends with Hunter S. Thompson, who described him as his lawyer in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

In 1974, the lawyer went to Mexico which is where he ultimately went missing. In May 1974, Oscar called his son and told him he was going to get on a boat full of white snow. There was a rumor that Acosta was alive and hiding in Miami but some time later, his friend Hunter Thompson wrote an obituary. According to Thompson, Oscar had drug problems. The lawyer’s body was never found.

​Bison Dele is a famous American basketball player. For his entire life, he was acting weird and eccentric. He finished his career when he was at his best, at the age of 30. In June 2002, Dele, his girlfriend, and his brother went on a cruise in the Pacific Ocean. The athlete and his girlfriend were last seen in Tahiti on July 8, 2002. His brother returned several weeks later.

In September, his brother was arrested by the police. 2 days before that, the basketball player’s yacht was found near Tahiti with bullet holes. The FBI decided that the brother shot Bison and his girlfriend and threw the bodies into the ocean so nobody could find them. Sometime later, he committed suicide. There was no new information after his death so the investigation was stopped.

​Sean was the only son of Hollywood actor, Errol Flynn. Unlike his successful father, Sean was never good in cinema and he was disappointed with himself. After making 10 movies, Sean decided to become a photo reporter. His photographs were regularly printed in big newspapers. On April 6, 1970, Flynn and his colleague were traveling across Cambodia on bikes. On one of the roadblocks, they were stopped by Khmer Rouges. Nobody has seen the photographer since. There was a rumor that he was seen in Mexico many years later, but there is no proof.

​Connie Converse was a singer and songwriter in the 1950s. She often performed in New York but she never became famous. In 1970, the singer was going through a difficult professional crisis which resulted in a severe depression. In August 1974, she wrote several letters to her friends and family where she said that she wanted to start a new life somewhere else.

Her relatives thought she was going to go to the lake for one day but by the time the letters were read, she had already packed her stuff and went away. All further searches for Connie didn’t bring any results.

​This may seem a little strange but research shows that people eat less food from red plates that from white or blue ones. The thing is, this color is associated with prohibitions and is a signal to stop, so people instinctively eat less. There was an experiment where the participants were given cookies on red, white, and blue plates. The ones who got a red plate ate a lot less than the other participants. And yes, they weren’t eating healthy food. So, this piece of advice only works for situations when you eat unhealthy foods.

​Here’s a fun and scientifically proven fact: if you drink beverages from tall glasses, you will drink about 25-30% less. American scientist Brian Wansink explains it as an optical illusion that tricks the brain. Tests have shown that even professional bartenders pour more into low and wide glasses.

​Research has shown that if people keep high-caloric foods in their sight, they will most likely weigh more than those who hide unhealthy foods from themselves and keep fruit out instead. The thing is, the sight of tasty (but unhealthy) foods increases the sense of hunger and temptation which makes you eat more. So, make sure you can only see healthy foods at home.

​When you eat foods rich in protein, you kill your hunger faster. Research has shown that a 15% increase of protein in the daily diet helped the participants eat 440 fewer calories. Because of this, they managed to lose 10 pounds of extra weight on average in 12 weeks without actually limiting any foods.

The foods that have the most protein are: meat (chicken and red meat), fish, eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, and beans.

​When you are just slightly hungry and you might risk having an unhealthy snack, chew some sugar-free mint-flavored bubble gum. The mint flavor dulls the function of taste buds and the urge to eat something immediately disappears.

​All the foods we eat and drink are heated by the body to the body temperature. This thermoregulation process burns calories and the more heating the body needs to do, the more calories it burns. Add some ice to your drinks (coffee, tea, juice, cocktails) and drink them through a straw. Cold food also makes the body burn more calories.

​​Research published in 2013 by Nature Communications magazine showed that people who sleep less than 6 hours a night eat high-caloric foods more often and gain more weight than people who get enough sleep. So, try sleeping for at least 7-8 hours a night.

​Buy a new dress or a new pair of jeans that are a few sizes smaller and hang them somewhere in your house where you can see this piece of clothing. This way you will always have a reminder in front of you of the goal you want to achieve.

​Unite with your friends or join a group of people who are trying to lose weight too. This will make the process more rewarding. A study shows that people who teamed up with other people who were trying to lose weight reached their target 20% more often.

​According to researchers at the University of Maastricht, cold temperatures help to burn fat. The cold will transform white fat into brown fat that is more easily metabolized by the body.
​

• Wrap an ice pack in a thin cloth and place it on the area where you have fat.
• Leave the pack on for around 30 minutes.
• Do it once a day for 12 days.
• ​

In order to avoid a frostbite, remove the bag from time to time. If you notice symptoms like skin redness, tingling, or skin numbness, stop the procedure immediately.

​Laundry detergent pods, if eaten, can cause poisoning and burns to the mouth, throat, and stomach. Other than ingestion, if the liquid leaks or is squeezed from the pod, it can cause severe skin and eye irritation and burns. It can also cause damage to the lungs if your child happens to breathe it in.

If you suspect your child has ingested or been in contact with an open detergent pod, call poison control for advice.

​Balloons may brighten up a party, but they actually cause more childhood deaths than any other toy. Balloons, particularly those made of latex, conform to the shape of the narrow windpipe in children, leading to choking. Other small objects such as batteries, magnets, marbles, and bottle-caps, for example, can also lead to occlusions of the windpipe.

If your child is choking, try giving them several firm blows to their upper back while they are in a forward position, call an ambulance, and then follow these steps.

​Generally, pet food isn’t poisonous to humans, however, there have been cases of children becoming sick after ingesting dry cat or dog food. The biggest danger comes from dry food pellets for larger dogs combined with small, inquisitive children which can be a choking hazard.

Again, if your child is choking, try giving them several firm blows to their upper back while they are in a forward position, call an ambulance, and then follow these steps.

​With the rising popularity of small, hand-operated drones comes the increased risk of injury, as this child found out when his eye was cut by a drone propeller.

With proper safety precautions, these can indeed be fun toys to play with. Follow these drone safety tips to minimize the risk of harm.

​Trampolines can be a fun addition to the family backyard, but naturally, don’t come without risks. According to the EU Injury Database, approximately 51,000 children aged 0-14 require an emergency department visit every year due to injuries sustained from using a trampoline. That number is closer to 250,000 in the United States.

Follow these trampoline safety tips to help keep your children safe.

​If your child’s toys are kept in a chest with a heavy lid, it might be best to either remove the lid or use open storage boxes. Heavy lids pose an injury risk if the toddler were to have a body part reaching into the chest and the open lid wasn’t secured. There have even been cases of suffocation when a child has become trapped within the box.

Fortunately, most modern toy chests have added safety elements to help prevent injury. Open boxes and play areas can be a safer alternative.

​Houseplants can be aesthetically pleasing for your home and garden, but some can be quite toxic and even lethal if eaten. Philodendron, oleander, and peace lilies are just 3 common examples. Check this extensive list here for toxic and non-toxic household plants.

Call poison control or an ambulance if you think your child has ingested anything unusual.

​With Halloween having recently passed, many people around the world were involved in dressing-up and eating candy. Trick-or-treating is a fun activity for the entire family and should continue to be considered as such. Any candy should be checked, if anything, to judge whether it could be a choking hazard depending on the age of your child. There have been reports of candy being “poisoned” but this has been found to be false. Sour hard candies like Warheads have also been reported to have caused burns and erosion to children’s mouths, so proceed with caution or avoid them altogether.

Costumes are also a big part of Halloween and other special occasions, and kids of all ages love to dress up. Parents should keep in mind that there have been incidents of costumes catching fire due to the types of materials they’re made of.

With all this in mind, we only want Halloween and other activities to remain fun and family-oriented as they’re meant to be.

If your child requires emergency medical attention please call your local emergency telephone number. Worldwide emergency numbers can be found here.

​Different studies show that both short and long periods of sleep are connected with diabetes and obesity. This fact isn’t that obvious but doctors claim that we move less than we should, which is why we gain weight. We wake up too late and don’t have time for physical activities.

​People who suffer from depressive disorders also experience sleep disorders. Sometimes, in cases of several types of disorders, people sleep more than usual. It’s a vicious cycle because long sleep causes despair and fatigue. You sleep more and more and don’t want to leave your bed in the morning, the world doesn’t make you excited, and these symptoms lead to depression.

​If you sleep for too long, you not only lose precious hours but you can also get heart disease. Nowadays, heart issues are among the most common causes of death, and sleeping for more than 8 hours a night increases your chances of dying from a heart attack by 34%.

What’s more, is studies prove that women are more likely to sleep longer than men, which is why they have to keep in mind that there’s a close connection between excessive sleep and heart disease.

​A lack of sleep causes headaches, but it also happens when we sleep for too long. We shouldn’t lie in bed a lot even during weekends and holidays. Otherwise, we may wake up with an awful headache.

The thing is, excessive sleep affects our neurotransmitters in the brain and our level of serotonin.

​According to a study, long sleep affects our brain work. What’s more, is if you usually wake up at night, you might not get enough deep sleep, thus, you wake up.

This, in turn, affects our brain’s cognitive functions and its ability to concentrate and remember details.

​It may sound surprising but sometimes insomnia is caused by unhealthy habits together with activity and sleep. For example, if you stay up late in front of the computer and decide to sleep longer the next day, you can suffer from insomnia. 2 days would be enough to confuse your body clock so that you’d experience problems with sleep.

​“How do you usually hang out?” This question will let you know:
​

• the habits of a person
• their character (for example, whether they’re lazy, a whiner, an optimist, etc.)
• their level of income
• their number of friends (and therefore, their ability to keep good relationships)
• the person’s hobbies and how interesting they are in general

​“If you had a billion dollars, how would you spend it?” This question will help to find out:

• a person’s life values and priorities
• what they lack in life
• their degree of selfishness
• their ambitions
• their moral principles and level of intellect

​The next one should be a provocative question. Simply raise a topic that can cause debate. For example, you can ask the interlocutor about their attitude toward political parties, vegetarians or feminists. It would be good if you manage to check how they perceive opinions that contradict the ones they have. Also, it will help you to learn:

• the general worldview of a person
• how strong their intellect is
• if they’re prone to aggression
• if they’re a person who likes to talk a lot of nonsense and is unable to make conclusions from their own reasonings
• how tolerant they are to opinions of another people
• how tolerant they are in general
• if they are sure in their arguments
• whether it is easy to manipulate this person
• whether they have their own opinion in general

The next stage includes a question offering to solve a kind of moral dilemma. For example, you can ask a question like, “If you had the ability to be invisible, would you feel obliged to follow generally accepted norms?”

• In this case, it will be interesting to listen to a person’s reasoning and opinion to learn about their principles and see if they match yours.

“What would you change in this world?” This is the last question from our list. Pay attention to which things your interlocutor wants to “change”. It will help you to learn what periods he emphasizes more — past, present or future. Also, you’ll be able to learn:
​

• the degree of a person’s selfishness
• how global their thoughts and mind are

​First of all, a phone can easily slip out of your hands and into the water. And after an incident like this you won’t be able to rely on it anymore.

Second, it can be dangerous for your life. If a smartphone that is connected to a charger falls into the bath, you are guaranteed to get a fatal electric shock. Don’t just hope that you’ll be lucky — accidents happen even with those who are extremely careful.

Toilet experts are sure that even 5 minutes spent with a telephone in the bathroom can have negative consequences for your health. Toilets and bathrooms are the dirtiest places in your home because a toilet bowl and the handles of the faucet are covered with pathogenic microbes. Moreover, when you flush the toilet, splashes invisible to the eyes get spread everywhere including your phone, which you will inevitably carry to the bedroom or the kitchen. And your gadget ends up turning into a microbe hotbed.

​No matter how accurately you eat, crumbs from your morning sandwich will surely get onto your laptop’s keyboard and get stuck in the gaps between the keys. Even if you think that you have gotten all of the crumbs, it’s not true. Over time, this morning habit will lead to stuck keys that will eventually stop working.

Additionally, it’s not just the food and crumbs that are the foes of the keyboard. Your favorite cup of coffee could also accidentally lead to a catastrophe — a wet keyboard.

​There is nothing to worry about if you change your phone once every couple of years. But if you want your smartphone to serve you longer, this information might be useful for you.

Usually we leave our phones connected to their chargers overnight so that our gadget is 100% charged by the morning. There is nothing dangerous in doing this because, Edo Campos, the representative of a battery-maker Anker, assures there is “No need to worry about overcharging since modern devices will terminate the charge correctly at the appropriate voltage.”

However, the bad news is that our gadgets keep themselves on the 100% level of charging throughout the night trying to compensate for a slight discharge. And this starts to decrease the capacity of the battery over time. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries don’t require a full charge since high voltage wears out the battery.

​The lithium-ion batteries of some smartphones are programmed for a certain amount of full charging/discharging cycles from 100% to 0%. After several hundred of these cycles, the battery capacity starts to decrease. That’s why it’s better to not wait until the phone discharges completely and to charge it when the level of the battery goes down to approximately 20%.

​According to laptop technicians, 17% of people seek help with their laptops because of the appearance of black spots on the display. As a rule, those black spots appear in the places where it’s very convenient to hold the laptop by its display. Due to the constant pressure of being picked up this way, its matrix gets damaged, and fixing it is not cheap.

​It’s not just about safety, but also about the fact that overcooling or overheating are harmful to technology. Heat especially affects the processor negatively. Also, if the humidity level is high, condensation may appear inside the gadget.

If you leave an electronic device in the cold for a long time, it will cause both damage to the battery and to the display. That’s why it’s better to not leave your gadget in the car in the summer or in the winter. If you have no choice, let it warm up or cool down to a normal temperature before starting to use it.

​Even household chemicals that say “universal” can contain elements that are dangerous for your gadgets. For example, it’s prohibited to clean laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones with the help of detergents for windows and glass. They contain ammonia and other substances that damage the antistatic and anti-reflective coatings that are on screens. Over time, these chemical compounds become the reason for the appearance of cracks, yellowing, and opacities on monitors and displays.

​We hardly ever use a special laptop holder whenever we take the laptop to bed to watch our favorite TV series. Often, we just put the gadget on our laps, which can be very harmful since it’s prohibited to close a laptop’s air vents. It’s necessary to provide them with a direct access to air, otherwise, your gadget can overheat and stop operating.

​How many times have you plugged in your device using your friend’s charger in order to quickly get it back to life? Just because a charger fits, doesn’t mean it’s compatible with your phone. It actually can be a harmful and dangerous procedure. This is because there is a special chip inside our phone that is responsible for several functions that can be damaged by the wrong cable. This can result in preventing your phone from performing some functions properly.

​This spot is called “Spirit Gate” and pressing it helps to relieve worry and anxiety.

Turn your palm side up and find the tendon coming into the base of your little finger. Look for the soft spot on the inside of the tendon and with your index finger, press the point. Inhale and exhale slowly and deeply.

This method will help you to calm down if you face a difficult conversation, public speeches or other stressful situations.

​When you have a gag reflex, use this trick. Squeeze your left thumb and you will feel relief quickly. The reason why it works isn’t entirely understood by scientists, however, it has been proven that dental patients who were using a pressure point in their palms calmed down easily.

​Sometimes after running or if you’re under stress, you’ll feel that your heart rate is rising. There is a simple way to fix it through breathing.

To get rid of a racing heart rate, exhale against a closed airway. Pinch your nose and try to breathe out with a closed mouth. The chest cavity will get pressure on it and it will stimulate the vagus nerve.

​When you have a stomach bug, you may feel dizzy and pressing the inner ear point can relieve this condition. It is small and located on the top of the foot between the fourth and baby toe. You have 2 points on the left and right feet.

Use the knuckle of the index finger to press hard enough to feel it, but it shouldn’t be painful. Massage the inner ear point on both feet for 30 seconds each.

​Everyone feels anger or can’t concentrate sometimes because of emotions. You’ve probably noticed that after diving into some cold water your head becomes refreshed somehow. There is nothing to wonder about because cold water allows the body to use oxygen more efficiently.

Next time you feel that your emotions are getting out of control, splash your face or put your whole hand under some ice cold water.

​The YinTang point is a point from acupuncture in the middle of the forehead. It is very effective and can be a salvation for people who don’t like or don’t take pills. Pressing this spot helps to reduce headaches and anxiety.

Gently press this spot with your middle and index fingers for up to 30 seconds. You will feel relief immediately. If the pain keeps disturbing you, wait for 5 minutes and then repeatedly press the spot for one more minute.

​There are 2 ways to get rid of a toothache. You can put an ice cube around the tooth that hurts. It is a temporary treatment, but it will still help you to feel some relief in case you don’t have medicine with you.

Some people have sensitive teeth. Next time you feel the pain coming, take an ice cube and place it on the back of your hand. Start rubbing it with the ice on the area between the index finger and the thumb.

​Antibiotics change the bacterial habitat of our bodies so people can become vulnerable to fungal infections. They can appear in the mouth, on the skin, or under the nails.

What should you do?

If you were prescribed a long course of treatment, you should start taking anti-fungal medications together with antibiotics.

​Tetracycline can lead to tooth coloring in children before 8 years old. And if a pregnant woman takes these drugs, there is a chance that the baby will have problems with tooth enamel.

What should you do?

Scientists have recently found out that the modern antibiotic doxycycline doesn’t cause tooth coloring, so it can be taken without any consequences. But of course, only take it if a doctor prescribes it to you.

​A fever can be caused by many things except for taking antibiotics. But if you noticed the fever right after you started taking them, you might have an allergic reaction to the drug that is leading to the fever.

A fever can be caused by almost any antibiotic but most of the time by β-lactam antibiotics, cephalexin, minocycline, and sulfonamide.

What should you do?

The fever is likely to go away by itself very soon. But if the fever is too strong, you should try to get rid of it and see your doctor and have the antibiotic changed.

​One of the most dangerous antibiotic reactions is an allergic reaction. In this case, a person might have an itching rash, swollen eyelids, lips, tongue, and even the throat which can lead to anaphylaxis. Sometimes in situations like these, a dose of adrenaline can save a person.

Remember, an allergic reaction to an antibiotic doesn’t mean you can’t take any antibiotics.

What should you do?

You have to tell your doctor about your allergies and start taking antibiotics from a different group. Also, be careful when you start taking a new drug that you have never taken before. If you have any symptoms of an allergy, you should see a doctor immediately.

​Some antibiotics (tetracycline, fluoroquinolone, and sulfone) can have an influence on how sensitive your skin is to ultraviolet rays. If you are exposed to too much sunlight while taking these drugs, the chances of having a sunburn increase.

The same antibiotics can cause a rash even if a person spent only 15 in the sunlight.

What should you do?

It’s best not to be exposed to sunlight from 10 am to 2 pm, use sunscreen, and cover the skin with clothes.

​It doesn’t happen often but antibiotics can cause heart problems. They usually cause arrhythmia or low blood pressure.

Most of the time, taking erythromycin and some fluoroquinolones can lead to such side effects.

What should you do?

See a doctor to have the antibiotic changed.

​Headaches and dizziness are also very popular side effects that people have when taking antibiotics. But usually, they disappear after you stop taking the drugs.

What should you do?

If your headache is not very strong, you can take a painkiller. If the pain is unbearable, you should see a doctor. They will likely change the drug.

​If you are taking rifamycins and birth control pills, the effect of birth control pills may decrease. As a result, the chances of having an unwanted pregnancy are increased. Other antibiotics don’t influence the effect of birth control pills this much.

What should you do?

While taking antibiotics, use an additional barrier method.

If you have been taking antibiotics and notice that you have any of these side effects, don’t do anything by yourself and don’t ignore your condition. You absolutely have to see a specialist.
