### How this byline works

A page signed here opens with the answer to its question in two or three sentences. Each health fact after that links to the page it came from, in the sentence that uses it: an NHS page, a National Institute on Aging guide, an ACOG patient FAQ, a guideline or a study. Symptoms are described as mild, moderate or severe.

Where a page says what to try first, that is a judgement drawn from those sources, and it is labelled as one. Nothing signed here recommends a treatment, a dose or a supplement. The [editorial policy](/editorial-policy) sets out how sources are chosen and how corrections are made.
