Question

It's been a full 11 days since I first got chicken pox, and the scabs haven't fallen off yet. I'm really starting to worry because it doesn't seem like any of them are going away. Is this normal? How much longer is it going to take for them to disappear?

Question

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.

Question

I'm currently breastfeeding and have been prescribed Amoxyclav 625 for pharyngitis. I'm really worried about whether it's safe to use while nursing. Could it affect my baby? If it's not safe, what other antibiotics could I take instead?

Question

I've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?
