My 1 year old has a fever and the doctor told me to use Tylenol and Advil every 3 hours alternating. \Â(Not necessary if he sleeps through the night. \Â Yesterday at midnight she cried and was hot, so I gave her the medicine, and in the morning she was still a little over 100℉, so I gave it to her, and at noon she was a little below 100℉ and my husband said she didn't need any more medicine, so I didn't give it to her. Three hours later it was still below. When I measured it before bed, it was a little over 100℉, and my mother-in-law told me why I didn't give her medicine every 3 hours !, so I was on the board of my husband and mother-in-law. \.(By the way, I'm living with my mother-in-law now. \I am not sure if I should have given her medicine for a while even if it was below 100℉ ? How long is the rule of thumb that you don't have to give her medicine ?
Please share your experience, not just ask your own pediatrician.

I was a nurse in Japan over 20 years ago.

This is just my personal opinion
When my son had a fever,
if it was over 103 ° F and he was limp, I would give him a fever reducer.
If it was lower than that, I did not give it.
The reason for 103 ° F is that a sudden rise in temperature can cause febrile convulsions.


When the body temperature rises, viruses and bacteria in the body become less active.
The activity of the body's immune cells increases, increasing their ability to attack viruses and bacteria.
Fever is a command from the brain to raise body temperature to fight viruses and bacteria.
Children have immature body temperature regulation.
Unlike adults, they easily develop high fevers, but they protect themselves by doing so, keeping pathogens at bay.

Just ask your doctor if you have any symptoms such as not peeing, not drinking milk, or being limp.

Thank you ! !
min, you would have handled it without meds until 103℉. I would not want to use medicine as much as possible. In the case of my child this time, I only noticed that she was not feeling well because she was hot and lying down instead of playing, and when I asked her how she was she returned with energy. But maybe he didn't know what energetic meant. Now the fever seems to be down because his body is not hot anymore. I'll take her temperature in the morning and discuss with my family what to do about medicine, or since it's Monday, I'll also discuss with my family about calling the doctor. My mother-in-law is Japanese-American, so she thought I didn't understand English, and this time I also felt the difficulty of international marriage.

Facial blemish removal

Question

I'm concerned about the spots on my face
they are due to age and UV rays
I want to have them removed with a shot
not some souvenir cream
I think it may need to take several times
recommend somewhere, anyone with experience please tell me
I also want to know how much it costs
how much for 5 times.
I would like to know how much it costs for 5 sessions, and if there is a tip, I would like to know that too.
I am waiting for the information that it is relatively cheap and effective

Even if the treatment suppresses the spots,
if you live as usual again,
the sun will make the spots even darker where the skin has become thinner.
Then it would be better to spend money on care
that will not cause spots in the future.

I don't know if it's sun spots or melasma ? I don't know, but I have tried many lasers and the type of laser that works depends on the type of blotch, so you should have it looked at once.

Q1: What to do with the 401k from the previous company
You can leave the account as is, or you can roll it over to the new company's 401k. Depending on the Benefit of each 401k, you can decide which is better for you. I would keep one account if at all possible, but it is up to you.
Q2: 401k and IRA, and 401k Matching
I would only do my current company 401k while I am working. They will add a percentage of your savings. ) so you can reach your goal faster than if you were to accumulate on your own. When you retire, there is no more matching, so you can roll over to an IRA and consolidate.

Hello. I was also thinking of looking for a new pediatrician. Dr Emi Ota at the Ohana Clinic seems to be Japanese, but is she fluent in English, including the nurses ? My husband is English only, so I feel comfortable with a bilingual doctor ・ nurse. Also, there seem to be two addresses, one in Ala Moana and one in Aina Haina, which one can we see the doctor at ? I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Plans to enter the U.S. via non-rev, travel to Germany via Chicago

Hello.
I am not married, but due to his work, I will be entering the US as a non-rev. The last time I stayed for a month and a half, I was sent to a separate room for 2 hours at immigration.
I heard that the examiner can see the seating order and whether you are non-rev or not, so that's why he put me in a different room.
(I didn't tell them he was there. )
Next time I am going to Germany with him as a non-rev, will it be ok ?
because it would not be funny if I am rejected to enter the US ….
If you know anything about non-rev and Japanese nationals only, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

I am a communication university student, so next time I will bring my student ID …. Is it okay to go from the US to another country as a non-rev ?.

I know he is suspicious of me because it is a benefit from him, not my parents. And my family doesn't have a single connection to the US …. Also, the rule is within 90 days, so I haven't done anything illegal, but the examiner told me that if I am in the US for more than a month, I have to be in Japan for more than a month before I can come to the US. Even though there is no such thing in the law. I am not working, so I guess that is another suspicious point. I was searched for my belongings and then released, so I'm sure that will be the case this time as well, but what is the definitive NG item is also a mystery to me.

If you are on board with your husband's relationship, I don't have a problem with it. I am on the American male beneficiary, so I think it's a no-no. I've been released after separate rooms in the past, so I think it's ok, but this time I'm going to Europe for a trip, so I'm wondering if they'll be suspicious since it's Chicago → Minneapolis after I go to Europe.

Recently, there are more and more strict regulations on immigration for permanent residency and papa activities
I think it's true that there are some places in Hawaii where you can have papa activities without a visa.
It seems that there is a Japanese agency that allows people to go to Hawaii without a visa, and there is a bar in the back of Triton that has a private room in the back where you can go and have daddy activities. …
I know a girl who went to Hawaii alone to attend her friend's wedding and was sent to a separate room from immigration,
She had a boyfriend here and he stayed here for 4 weeks twice a year for a year and a half. She even made a dummy reservation for one night at the first hotel, but she made sure to check out on the day she checked out.
She will not be able to enter Hawaii or the U.S. for at least 5 to 10 years.
Immigration in the U.S. is really tough, especially these days.

If it is written in the rental agreement, you can refer to it to see if it is okay or not to put it up.
If not, I think you have to check with the landlord. We have one window without curtains or blinds for a different reason, and we put curtains there using a stick-on rod.

Costco's are for people who buy beans at the store. I don't think it's a good idea to bring in your own beans too.

How to make koji Easy

Question

I am a girl who is not good at cooking
My health is not so good these days
I want to make koji by myself and start chowkatsu

easily

If you are a good cook, please share with us.
Thank you very much!

Let's see, are you sure you want to make koji itself by yourself ?
If so, you have to prepare seed koji (koji mold) first. I believe it is sold on Amazon.
And you can make koji by following the instructions on the Internet, as there are many people who have this job.
There are not so many steps, so I think it is not difficult to make it.
If it is ready-made koji, I think it is easy to get it because it is sold at donkey shops.

I often use ready-made salted koji to marinate meat and fish. The meat becomes tender and
has a mild salty taste, so it tastes good.
I also make pickles with the ingredients for sango-hachi pickles sold at Marukai.
It is a local food of Fukushima, but it makes sweet pickles.

If you are not a good cook and have poor health, you should not choose to do something

difficult and time consuming, and buy koji.

Even though I like cooking, I have never made koji. Koji miso is sold everywhere. You can get koji from miso soup.

You can find various health tips on Youtube.

Start right away with what you can do.

I have been enjoying making miso, salt koji, soy sauce koji, onion koji, etc. using ready-made rice koji, but this weekend I am trying to make rice koji for the first time. It takes 3 days to complete the process, and it is a bit difficult to control the temperature (. I try to check every hour except when I'm sleeping ). If your health is not so good and you want to take advantage of the benefits of koji quickly, I recommend using Cold Mountain's rice koji, which is sold at Donki, Nijiya, and other stores. Donki also has a Japanese product ( that I think is imported from Japan ), but my impression after using about 10 bags of this product is that the power of the koji is inferior to that of Cold Mountain. I used about 10 bags of this one, and my impression is that its koji is less powerful than Cold Mountain's. Perhaps the fungus is weakened, but the soy sauce koji and miso are not as strong as those made by Cold Mountain. Incidentally, Cold Mountain's koji was slightly cheaper at Nijiya than at Donki ( as of early October ). I don't have a very strong stomach, but I feel better after taking a little fermented food with each meal, I hope KJ's health improves too.

Self storage

I am planning to return to Japan temporarily.
I am not sure when I will be back in Hawaii next and I don't want to waste money on rent, so
I am considering cancelling my apartment contract and storing my belongings in a storage unit before returning to Japan.
I have no experience with self storage and would like to hear from those who have used it.
Please let me know if you recommend this storage facility in Honolulu, or if you recommend not to use this facility, or if you have any stories of mistakes that happened when you left your belongings at this facility.
Since we are in Hawaii, we are especially concerned about sanitation.
Also, please let me know if you have stored your car in this way or if you know of a service that can safely store your car while you are back home for an extended period of time.
Thank you very much.

A friend of mine did the same thing and returned to Hawaii over a year after leaving her belongings in Kaimuki storage and her car with someone. When he returned, he couldn't find a place to live
He was in Hawaii for a few weeks on a shared basis and ended up leaving, throwing away more than half of the clothes and other things he left in storage. I was also crying because I had more miles on my car than I needed to drive it around where I left it.
It cost us TOTAL thousands of dollars.
Bottom line is, it's easier to sell off your stuff at Vivinavi, throw away what you can't sell, sell your car at Vivinavi, and become one body for the next life.

I rented a storage unit in Kakaako, not because I was moving
but because my house was too small.
However, I was informed that the business was closing while I was back home for 2 months, so I rented another place on short notice, but it was very difficult to move my stuff after returning to Hawaii. I just want you to know that it happens. The place we are renting is air-conditioned, so pests and such are not a problem.

We had to leave our car at Honolulu Auto (car rental agency), but
it is not cheap because of parking fee + management fee.
However, we live in a house with an uncovered garage, so if the car is parked all the time, we know we are not home, and we have to worry about the battery, so it was good to leave the car with them.

I am relieved to hear that the pest control seems to be in place if the storage is well managed.
However, I had not thought about the possibility of closing the business, so I will have to reconsider. It must have been very hard to move the storage in a limited time, thank you very much. Thank you for the details regarding the car as well. I am also worried about theft and batteries, so I would like to leave my car in a safe place even if it is a little more expensive.
Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much.
