I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I recently had hand surgery. My surgeon put me on Acuvin and Cetil 500, and I've been taking them for four days. I've started experiencing vaginal itching since then. My doctor hasn't given me anything for it. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this or what I can do to deal with it?

View allI've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.
Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I've recently been diagnosed with shingles at 25, and I can't shake this worry after reading online that it might be a symptom of something more serious like HIV. Should I be concerned about this connection? Is there something specific I should look out for?
if you are concerned about HIV, it is important to get tested for it. In the meantime, for shingles, you can take antiviral medications such as Acyclovir 800mg five times a day for 7-10 days to help reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort.
