Nasopharyngitis: Definition, causes, and symptoms - Medical News Today

Image
Nasopharyngitis is another name for the common cold. It is a mild infection of the nose and throat that can produce symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. Nasopharyngitis develops due to viruses. Currently, however, there are no antiviral medications that could fight them. Antibiotics will not treat a viral infection, so doctors prescribe them only if a person has a complication due to a bacterial infection. Over-the-counter (OTC) cold medicine may provide temporary relief from symptoms, but it does not shorten the course of the infection. Doctors usually advise individuals with a cold to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and seek medical attention if symptoms become severe.

Kyle Edward Ball Explains the Origins of 'Skinamarink' - Vulture

Image
Kyle Edward Ball's movie leaked and went viral before becoming a hit in theaters. He wishes it had gone differently. Photo: BayView Entertainment Some horror films take viewers into previously unimaginable realms of terror. Others take everyday situations and turn them into the stuff of nightmares. Skinamarink does a little of both: It takes common childhood fears and crafts an experience that, for many people, feels like an immersive trip into the darkest parts of their subconscious. This is a film that gives back what you put into it, allowing viewers to project their own nightmares and anxieties onto the screen to fill the darkness between the pixels. Skinamarink 's snowy grain and distorted audio will feel familiar to different generations for different reasons. For older millennials and Gen-Xers, ...

Journey Takes a Break From Feuding, Returns for Harmonious Concert at Oklahoma Casino - Billboard

Image
Before playing his piano ballad "Faithfully" on Journey's opening 2023 date at an Oklahoma casino theatre on Friday (Jan. 27), Jonathan Cain told about 3,000 fans: "It's good to be back. All together again." It was a unifying sentiment after months of Journey acrimony. Although the classic rock band sold 296,000 tickets in 2022 and grossed $31.9 million, according to Billboard Boxscore, Cain and his longtime bandmate, lead guitarist Neal Schon, have been battling legally since late October over Schon's expenditures on Journey's American Express card and Cain's participation in an event at former President Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort. As Journey prepares to return to arenas Feb. 4 in Allentown, Pa., the two-hour show at the Choctaw Grand Theatre in Durant, the first of two nights, was generally harmonious and upbeat. The sextet's three focal points — frontman Arnel Pineda, Schon and Cai...

See the Moment Harry Styles Accidentally Splits His Leather Pants During His Concert - PEOPLE

Image
Harry Styles knows that the show must go on — even with a slight wardrobe malfunction. On Thursday night, the 28-year-old singer brought his Love on Tour concert series to Inglewood, California, where his look of the evening caused quite a stir. While performing his song, "Music for a Sushi Restaurant," Styles' tan leather trousers ripped at the seam near his crotch. Per a video shared on TikTok by a concertgoer, the accident occurred when the singer knelt down on one knee, which instantly split the seam of his pants in the process. After noticing the gap, Styles bashfully continued to sing while covering the rip. He covered it with a towel while he danced around — but that was only a temporary fix. Leave it to the professional — and his loyal fans — to find a solution to the faux pas. Another concert clip, shared by a fan account on Twitter, reveals that the former One Direction member used a fan-gifted rainbow Pride flag, represe...

Jill Biden donates inaugural wear, face masks to Smithsonian - news-herald.com

Image
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden says her Inauguration Day outfits, now featured in a Smithsonian museum exhibit about first ladies, were a "voice for me on one of the most important days of my life." The dresses — one blue, one white — with matching coats and face masks "spoke to the American people then, and now they will continue speaking to generations to come," she said Wednesday, before mannequins dressed in her clothes were formally added to the exhibit. "They will help tell not only my story, but the story of what Americans experienced together," the first lady said at the museum. It was her first public appearance in two weeks, following the removal of a cancerous lesion from her face and another one from her chest. "This day is so much more emotional than I ever imagined it to be," she said. First ladies typically donate their inaugural ball gown to the Smithsonian Institution, but President Joe Biden had no s...

Camila Cabello's makeup-free selfies are giving 90s vibes - Cosmopolitan UK

Image
As if Camila Cabello's voice wasn't enough confirmation that she's a RL angel, the pop star has only gone and shared a flawless makeup-free selfie. I mean, she really did draw some good good luck in that gene pool, circa 25 years ago. In a recent four-part Instagram carousel, Cam is seen to be posing (read: with her middle finger up... and I– oop) on the streets of Manhattan, New York. And if that didn't get you 'oohing' and 'ahhing', just wait until you see her au naturale look; there's not a single drop of foundation or mascara in sight. At most, we'd predict that she's wearing lip balm – gotta' keep the skin hydrated y'know. Not only are we in admiration of how great Camila looks but she's also providing a sense of nostalgia and transporting us straight back to the 90s. "I'm team flip phone revolution. Maybe I can write the theme song guys 💪💪💪💪", she writes in the caption of her post. This content i...
