Deafness, or hearing loss, is a condition that occurs when one or more parts of the ear aren’t working properly. These parts include the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, hearing nerve (acoustic nerve), and auditory symptoms. Deafness is one of the most common birth defects in the world, but it can also develop later in life. Deafness in children can affect their ability to grow and develop speech, social skills, and language.

Asthma is a chronic disease that occurs when your airways swell, narrow, and produce extra mucus. The swelling increases your airways’ susceptibility to an allergic reaction and makes them extremely sensitive to irritations. The condition makes breathing difficult and triggers wheezing coughing or shortness of breath. Asthma can be a minor nuisance or a major problem that makes physical activities impossible. There is currently no cure to treat asthma, but there are management methods to help control the symptoms so you can lead an active life.

The symptoms of asthma can be different from one person to another. Some people only experience the symptoms at certain times, others have symptoms all the time. The common signs and symptoms of asthma include:

Injuries in the feet are very common, particularly when you like playing soccer as you use your feet the majority of the time. The excessive running, the sliding, the tackling, the way you take a shot, the kicking, and sharp-turning movements can bring injury to your feet and body. One of the most common injuries in soccer is a broken bone (also known as a fracture) in the foot. The seriousness of a broken foot varies. It can be just a tiny crack or a complete break that results in two or more pieces. In severe conditions, broken bones can tear the skin and leave a gaping wound (also known as open fractures).

Bones can break when something crushes, twists bends or stretches it. The toes are usually broken when you accidentally kick something too hard, the heels are usually broken when you fall from a height and land …

At some point in our lives, we will experience bumpy skin, itchy eyes, nausea, or sneezing. The most common cause? An allergy. 

Your immune system is in charge of fighting bacteria and viruses to defend your body. But sometimes, it fights certain substances that are typically not harmful to the human body. When your body reacts to these substances, which is known as allergens, it causes an allergic reaction. It is still unclear why some people experience allergies. It is believed that it can be inherited and if you have a close family member who has an allergy, your risk in developing one is increased. 

Although the reason why some people develop an allergic reaction to harmless substances is mainly unknown, we can identify the common substances that cause an allergic reaction. You can touch, inhale, or eat these allergens. Food, insects, drugs, latex, mold, pet, and pollen can be …
