I'm really worried because I've been losing a lot of hair whenever I take a head bath or even when I'm just combing it. I recently had a case of typhoid fever, and now my hair feels really soft and seems to break easily. Could this be related to the fever, and what can I do to help my hair recover?

I'm dealing with some vaginal itching and dryness, and I'm already using the medication and lucono cream my doctor prescribed. I'm curious if it's alright to use mustard oil for the itching too. Could it cause any issues or interfere with the other treatments I'm on?
Mustard oil is sometimes used in traditional medicine for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, which may help soothe vaginal itching. However, it's essential to exercise caution before using mustard oil for vaginal itching, especially if you're already experiencing dryness and using prescribed medications. Potential Risks and Considerations 1. Irritation and allergic reactions: Mustard oil can be irritating to the vaginal mucosa, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies. 2. Dryness and exacerbation: Mustard oil may worsen dryness, as it can strip the skin of its natural oils. 3. Interference with prescribed medications: Using mustard oil concurrently with prescribed medications like Lucono cream and oral medicines may interact or reduce their effectiveness
