this morning on today's health, simple ways to heal yourself. if you want to ease the pain of a shot, lessen the burning of heartburn and maybe even stop your spouse from snoring, dr. carey peterson says you can do it all with a few simple steps, a board certified internist and women's health contributor. nice to see you. >> good morning. >> we're getting ready for flu season and people will be getting flu shots. i guess for some people, the shot itself can cause problems. how do you lessen the pain for that? >> so many of my patients are afraid of getting vaccines, here's a trick, take your two fingers and put them above and below where the needle will trick you and press firmly. it confused the pain receptors

and they're confused and doesn't feel as sharp. >> what about a good spank, and -- >> that works, too. it distracts you. if you stimulate another area to create pain, you won't feel the original spot, like rubbing your shin if you hit your shin. >> a lot of people eat a big meal at night and shouldn't do to begin with and get the burning sensation in their chest. without using drug over the counter or medicine, how can you relieve that sensation? >> lie on your left side when you go to sleep at night. >> why the left? >> when you have reflux, which causes the heartburn, the acid in the stomach goes in the esophagus and burns it. the natural curvature of the esophagus is it goes down to the left and if you lay on your left side it maintains the curvature and prevents the acid from going up. if you lay on your back j it straightens that curve. >> you get more acid reflux? >> that's right. >> good.

you don't have to take anything, if it gets worse, you would obviously. snoring, a big problem, according to the national sleep foundation, sfloring affects approximately 90 million adults. >> big problem for people that snore and their spouses who can't sleep next to them. one thing to try, lie on your side. >> it doesn't matter which side? >> either side. when you lie on your back, what happens is the tongue, when you're sleeping, it relaxes and slides to the back of the throat and can obstruct the airway. this is very common in people who have obstructive sleep apnea and overweight. you lie on your side, the coung can't fall backwards. sometimes tricky when you're sleeping to stay on your side and maybe wedge yourself on pillows to maintain your position. >> those aren't pillows! but of course, you said the operative thing, really, if you want to do this, get rid of this, you want to lose weight, probably? >> that's the optimal thing to do, not always easy, but the first choice. >> how do you prevent yourself

from crying? >> not always appropriate to cry on certain occasions. what you can try is purposely clear your throat and then swallow. when you clear your throat, it interrupts the mechanism between the nasal passages and throat that creates the crying. when you swallow, the tongue presses against the soft pallet and prevents you from crying and distracts you because you're focusing on something else. >> that's cool. hiccup, you get them and seems like you can't get rid of them. what's your solution? >> when the diagram contracts n involuntarily. when it contracts, the vocal cord snaps close and creates that characteristic hic sound. a lot of people think they have a solution. this is a good one, take a really really deep breath, hold it for 10 seconds. when you think you couldn't have gotten any more air in, take another breath, hold it for five seconds, one more time, third

breath in so you're completely expanded for five seconds and then you let it out. >> or passed out. what this does, immobilizes the diaphragm contracting involuntary and relaxes the spasms and also causes carbon dioxide levels to build up and terminates hiccup as well. >> the one i used for 20 years, you need help, put a finger in each year and have somebody hold a glass and you drink water as long as you can, knocks them right out. >> sounds like a good one. looks silly but a good one. ear popping. what causes that and how do you work that out? >> the middle ear and outer ear are supposed to be the same pressure. if you go on an airplane and the atmospheric pressure changes, it puts pressure on the middle ear and causes pain. you want to pop up the tube that connects the throat to the middle another, called the eustachian tube, by yawning, simple, just yawn, it will pop

it right open and equalizes the pressure. another thing some people try to do, i would not recommend, a lot of people squeeze their nostrils and then blow. >> why don't you want to do it? >> if you do it too hard, it will force fluid into the middle ear and can be damaging. do it gently and yawn. >> what if you feel like you're going to faint? >> if you are standing in the subway too long, feel too hot, pressure goes down, cross your legs, squeeze your thighs and contract your an come to mistakened forces the blood to the heart and head and raises the blood pressure and the fainting spell sensation passes. >> dr. peter son, thanks so much. great advice, we appreciate that. coming up, how to ace your paernt-teacher conference, questions you should be asking. keeping you ahead of the curve with celebrity hair trims with our stylist. first, these messages. r! hey, you guys. want to try activia's great new taste?

this morning on "parenting today," making the grade when it comes to parent-conferences. many schools will be making a conference for parent and teachers and it usually lasts less than 10 minutes. are you prepared? an educational psychologist and today contributor, michelle, good morning. >> great sitting back. >> feeling very official. >> this is a very timely topic for many parents. how important is it for us to be prepared when we meet the teacher? >> critical. you have just a short amount of time. you want to maximize that time. this is your opportunity one-on-one with the teacher to find out how your child is doing, do your homework.

>> speaking of that, 10 minutes, at the high school level, two or three minutes seeing multiple teachers, do you really expect to get an idea how your child is doing? >> you will get a cliffnotes version and find out if there is a problem and how things are doing. you need to be prepared. start by doing your homework. find out your child's grades before you get there. how do you do that? go online and look it up or go through their backpack and look at the pattern. not looking at one test score, across the board, what does it look like? know the teacher's agenda, expectations, field trips ahead of time. a time waster if you start talking about that one. the third thing you really want to do in life, you want to ask your kid, hey, any concerns you have? but the key question, anything i should know that the teacher will tell me we should probably talk about now so there aren't any big surprises. >> that's good. should you let the teacher talking when you first go in there?

>> no. let the teacher do the talking. walk in and listen. you want to have her set the agenda. if you do have a problem, you can still look at -- a 20 minute conference and i have 10 minutes. now, i will open up at the end of 10 minutes and put my two cents in. >> at the end of the conference, say, you should keep an open mind, listen carefully. i'm sure they appreciate that. keep the conversation on track and take notes. >> yes. look at keep the conversation on track. it's real easy to get off focus about the upcoming field trip or your own past experiences with the kid. don't. stay on track. write down a couple of key points you want to remember to share them either with your child or your parenting partner. >> what about social and behavioral issues? >> you definitely should bring them up, particularly if there's a problem. how does he get along with other kids? is there any behavior problem? if the teacher notes there is a problem, push the pause button on and say, can you tell me a little more?

you want details to find out when it's happening and where it's happening and start to resolve it together. >> what if your child has been complaining about his or her teacher and you know there may be a problem, how delicate a conversation is that? >> first of all, leave your whole perspective outside, walk in with an open mind and then give the teacher a little bit of the hmm, let's see how it's really going point of view. you want to start in, if there really is a legitimate concern and your kid is trustworthy, you can bring it in starting with the we. here's the facts, what can we do together to solve it? >> if there is a problem, how realistic you can solve it in a period of time? >> you won't solve it. what you will do is your goal before you leave that classroom, get the first step in writing, what are we going to do and when should we meet the next time there is a problem so there is a follow-up. you want ongoing progress with

your child. >> they should be willing to e-mail if your child is acting out, say, e-mail me, i support you. teachers probably want to feel that support from you as parents? >> they do want that support. you have to ask the teacher, what's the best way to contact you. each teacher has a preference, find out what it is. make sure if there's a problem, there is a fiscal low-up, this is your kid's education and you can make the most of that short amount of time in that conference. >> thanks so much. still to come on "today," if you're looking for a job or career change, the top 10 best jobs in america. ♪ this one thing i'll eat, any time of day ♪
