Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)

Around one in five Australians regularly have reflux or heartburn. If symptoms are frequent or severe, this is known as GORD. Changing your diet and other lifestyle factors can help. Medicines can be helpful too, although they aren’t always a long-term fix.

Chilblains

Chilblains are small, itchy swellings on the skin that occur as a reaction to cold temperatures.

They most often affect the body's extremities, such as the toes, fingers, heels, ears and nose.

Chilblains can be uncomfortable, but rarely cause any permanent damage. They normally heal within a few weeks if further exposure to the cold is avoided.

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch.

How to differentiate between COLD and FLU?

Your nose is stuffy, your throat is scratchy, and your head is pounding. Is it a cold or the seasonal flu? Symptoms can overlap, so unless your doctor runs a rapid flu test — a quick check done with a cotton swab from the back of your nose or throat — it’s hard to know for sure.

Here are some basic guidelines for telling the difference between cold and flu symptoms, and what to do if you have either one of these infections.

PCOS - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The symptoms of PCOS include excess hair (hirsutism), scalp hair loss, acne, weight gain, difficulties with fertility, increased anxiety and depression and irregular or infrequent periods. There is also information on the possible causes of PCOS, and other health problems linked with PCOS.

Migraine

Migraine is not just another word for ‘bad headache’. They have specific characteristics that distinguish them from tension-type headaches. Migraines affect about 1 in 10 people, particularly women. Minimising potential migraine triggers plays an important role in managing migraine. In addition, different medicines can be used as preventive therapy for migraine.

Travel Immunisation

Some illnesses you can catch overseas can be prevented with immunisation. Anyone travelling overseas should visit their doctor or travel health clinic to find out what vaccinations they need. Even if you think your travel destination is safe, keep in mind that disease outbreaks can and do happen. Vaccination offers good protection against many diseases.

Chickenpox vs. measles: What's the difference?

Chickenpox and measles are both infectious diseases that are caused by viruses. They're caused by two different viruses. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Measles, also called rubeola, is caused by the measles virus. Both diseases used to be common childhood infections, but now are preventable through vaccination. Let's take a deeper look at chickenpox and measles and see what makes them different.

Measles

Measles is one of the most easily spread of all human infections. Just being in the same room as someone with measles can result in infection. It is usually spread when a person breathes in the measles virus that has been coughed or sneezed into the air by an infectious person. People with measles are usually infectious from just before the symptoms begin until four days after the rash appears. The time from exposure to becoming sick is usually about 10 days. The rash usually appears around 14 days after exposure.
