How long does it take for a nose cauterize take to heal? My 2 year old had his done Wednesday morning.
He has been sneezing alot and rubbing his nose. He has not picked it at all. But today I noticed it was swellon just alittle. Should I call the dr that did his surgery?
@lilmama83 if it's swelling I'd call just to be safe.
@rariszoo his follow up appt the dr that did the surgery said that its healing good and that he may have alittle swelling but as long as it dont start to bleed it's good but if it follows by a bad bloody nose to bring him in

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:

So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
When I had it done it was maybe a week. Longer if they irritate it so watch out for fingers in the nose and lots of sneezing. Mine only took a week but I was 16 and knew better than to mess with anything.
