I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I'm taking ivermectin for a mild scabies issue and I'm supposed to take the medication on Wednesday. But I'm also planning to drink quite a bit of alcohol on Saturday. Do you think the alcohol will affect anything with my treatment?

Ivermectin is usually well-tolerated, but consuming alcohol while taking it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. It is generally recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on ivermectin treatment. If you do choose to drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation.
