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?

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.

I'm 27 and have been dealing with PCOD for the last three years, but in the past six months, my hair loss has gotten really bad. I've heard Ayurveda has some treatments that might help. Are there any specific oils or shampoos in Ayurveda that could help with hair regrowth within a month?

there is no such recorded evidence for those medicines, in PCOS hair loss is due to androgen effect ,there are treatment modalities to stop hairfall and improve hair growth for a better result visit your dermatologist for appropriate management.
