I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?

I'm taking a 5mg levocet tablet for a skin reaction on my face and have been on it for 6 days now. Since I don't have any more itching or redness, I'm wondering if I should stop the medicine or keep going. My doctor originally suggested I take it for 10 days. What do you think I should do?

You can stop taking Levocet 5mg tablet since you no longer have itching or redness on your face. It is advisable to complete the course as prescribed by your doctor, which in your case is 10 days. Since you have already taken it for 6 days and your symptoms have resolved, you can safely discontinue the medication.

I'm experiencing really bad hair loss since I gave birth, and it's been about four months now. I'm getting worried and I'm not sure if this is normal or if I should be doing something specific to help. Can you give me some advice on what I might be able to do or what this could be related to?

Itching,nausea,headache, allergic reactions etc are the side-effects.. Kindly continue the medication as per dermatologist opinion.
