Q: The ring is typically worn on the third finger of the left hand. This is the most common way to wear an engagement ring in many countries, especially in Western cultures. This dates back to the highly romantic idea that this finger has a vein that leads directly to the heart. That isn’t true, but it’s a nice thought for when you’re looking down at that pretty ring of yours. Wearing your ring on the third finger of your right hand is absolutely acceptable as well. The right hand is actually the traditional hand in countries like Russia, Greece, and Columbia. Wearing your ring on your right hand doesn’t have to signify your culture, though. It can simply be a personal preference. Once you’ve decided on the hand you’ll wear your ring on, consider how you will wear it after the wedding ceremony. You may decide not to have a wedding band, and that’s okay! If you have a wedding band, you will typically wear your engagement ring on top of it. There are traditions, but in the end, the choice is yours. Wear it on whatever finger feels the most comfortable. This could be your index or middle finger. If the size of the ring is the reason why you need to wear it on a certain finger, you may want to consider resizing it. Sometimes wearing the engagement ring on your finger isn’t the best option for you. This could be because of your career, a physical reason, pregnancy, or simply because you don’t like to wear anything on your fingers. Choose a chain that you like and slip the ring onto the chain. Wear it around your neck as you would any other necklace. It will be even closer to your heart. You can also look into companies like Ring My Neck, which makes necklaces specifically for engagement rings.
A: Wear it on your left hand. Flaunt the ring on your right hand. Stack it on top of your wedding band. Choose to wear it on any finger you want. Wear it around your neck.

Q: Retinoid creams help the body produce more collagen, and collagen renews your skin, making it look younger and healthier while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.  You can get over-the-counter retinoid creams, but prescription versions are more potent and may have a more dramatic effect. Attend to your fingernails. By this I mean look at them, are they normal or have they become yellow and thick? If they have yellowed that might mean you have a fungus, it is easily taken care of and your nails can look youthful again. Check with your doctor, he/she can prescribe an antifungal liquid for it. They also sell antifungal liquid at most grocery stores in the medicine department. They now have "invisible" braces to make it less noticeable that your teeth are getting aligned. Having beautiful teeth makes anyone more attractive, no matter your age. Yellowed teeth are another common sign of age. You can use a home whitening kit on your teeth for a quick fix, but for something that will last longer, see your dentist and ask to have a professional teeth whitening done. Keep in mind some foods discolor teeth, as does smoking. If you want your teeth to stay white avoid foods and drinks that are more likely to stain your teeth, such as coffee, for example. While acupuncture is technically a form of alternative medicine, you still need to go to a licensed professional to have the procedure done. It is a far more natural treatment than cosmetic injections, however, which reduces the risk of an adverse reaction. Acupuncture needles are inserted into the face, neck, and head. They stimulate skin cells and improve circulation, so your skin ends up producing more collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin in those areas becomes firmer and more youthful in appearance. Treatments that use laser waves and radio waves cause microscopic fissures to form in the skin, and these fissures stimulate collagen production. Radio wave treatments can be quite painful, but if you can endure them, you should notice considerably firmer, younger looking skin within six months. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the skin, where they spread out and fill wrinkles and similar age lines. As a result, even the smallest lines of your face can look smoother within a short period of time. There are different filler treatments available, so talk to your doctor about which one might be best for you. Surface fillers work great on small lines and cause very little bruising, but deeper fillers might be necessary for deeper wrinkles. This specialized procedure is used to lessen or eliminate spider veins. Since spider veins are associated with age, removing them can make you look younger. The procedure used to be very painful, but newer techniques have made the procedure quicker and less uncomfortable. During this procedure, pulsed light is combined with a specialized topical drug to destroy abnormally pigmented skin cells. Within two or three sessions, sun-aged skin can look closer to its natural age. Note that this treatment also has a practical purpose since it can be used to target precancerous cells, as well. During this procedure, acid is used to burn away the top layers of skin. This removes damaged skin and stimulates new skin growth, which can lead to a smoother, younger looking face.  Trichloroacetic acid peels are among the most common chemical peels. Some treatments can cause scabbing and may take several weeks to heal, but there are a few newer treatments that can result in less immediate pain and discomfort.
A: Use retinoid creams. You're never too old to get your teeth fixed, so if your teeth are crooked, or you are missing teeth consider getting them taken care of at your Dentist. Whiten your teeth. Try cosmetic acupuncture. Ask about laser and radio-frequency treatments. Use an acid filler. Check into sclerotherapy. Look into photodynamic rejuvenation. Try a chemical peel.

Q: Once you are bitten by a mosquito that is carrying dengue fever, the average time for symptoms to begin is four to seven days. While the average incubation period is from of four to seven days, you may experience symptoms as early as three days or as late as two weeks after being bitten. A high fever is the first symptom to appear.  Fevers with dengue fever are high, ranging from 102°F to 105°F (38.9°C to 40.6°C). The high fever lasts for two to seven days, returns to normal or even a little below normal, then can rebound. You may develop a high fever again that can last for several more days. The initial symptoms that develop after the fever begins are generally non-specific, and are described as flu-like in nature.  Common symptoms that occur after the fever begins include severe frontal headache, pain behind the eyes, severe joint and muscle pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and a rash. Dengue fever was once called “break-bone fever” due to the severe pain that is sometimes felt in the joints and muscles. Other common symptoms caused by the virus can create hemodynamic changes, or changes that alter the flow of blood in the body.  Examples of blood flow changes seen with dengue fever include nosebleeds, bleeding from the gums, and areas of bruising.  Additional symptoms related to changes in blood flow may be evident by reddened areas in the eyes and a sore or inflamed throat. The rash usually begins three to four days after you developed the fever, can get better for one to two days, but then can come back.  The initial rash often involves the facial area, and can appear as flushed skin or spotty and reddened areas. The rash does not itch. The second rash begins on the trunk area, then spreads to the face, the arms, and the legs. The second rash can last from two to three days. In some cases, a rash that is made of small dots, called petechiae, may appear anywhere on the body as the fever subsides. Other rashes that sometimes occur include an itchy rash on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
A:
Expect an incubation period of four to seven days. Take your temperature. Watch for flu-like symptoms. Monitor for symptoms of unusual bleeding. Evaluate the rash.
