I'm having issues with my tongue the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

What gets rid of a rash overnight?
We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

I've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
