I'm dealing with really itchy skin, and nothing seems to be working. I've already tried Moxikind CV 625 and Nuforce, but I'm still struggling. Could you tell me what medicine might actually help with this?

The medications you mentioned are antibiotics, which may not be effective for treating itchiness of the skin. For itchy skin, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, applying a soothing lotion containing Calamine can also help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation.

I was in the hospital for pneumonia treatment back in September, and now I've been losing a lot of hair from all over my scalp since last month. What could be causing this? Is there a chance my hair will grow back, or am I going to go bald? What kind of treatment should I be looking into?

The significant hair loss you're experiencing, known as telogen effluvium, could be triggered by the physical stress of pneumonia, high fever, or medications used during treatment, and in most cases, hair growth resumes on its own within 3-6 months without treatment

Is the Mayi dusting powder safe for my 10-month-old baby? I'm wondering if it's okay to use the regular candid powder or if there's a specific version meant for infants. Can you provide me with more information about this?

-It's best to use a baby-specific Candid powder designed for infants, as it is gentler on their sensitive skin. Regular Candid powder may be too harsh for a 10-month-old and could cause irritation. Always consult your pediatrician before using any product
