I'm really worried about my sister. She's currently 22 weeks and 4 days pregnant and recently had a viral fever. The fever's gone now, but she's experiencing some intense itching all over her body. The doctor mentioned it's a post-viral symptom, but she's been taking LCZ and using lacto calamine without any relief. What are some quick solutions or remedies she can try to ease the itching?

Consider adding an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine, and a topical cream like aloe vera gel or calamine lotion with 1% menthol, under medical guidance, to help alleviate itching, and also ensure your sister stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent infection.

View allI'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?
You have to continue the same treatment for a longer dulation like 45 -60 days,visit Dematologist for the same

I'm wondering if I can use candid dusting powder as a replacement for candid b cream. Is it okay to switch them up, or is there a better alternative you would recommend? I'm curious if there's any major difference between the two that I should be aware of.
It's great to hear that you're experiencing improvement with medication. To avoid surgery, consider the following: _Continue conservative management_: 1. _Physical therapy_: Engage in exercises that strengthen your back and core muscles. 2. _Pain management_: Continue your current medication regimen under your doctor's guidance. 3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Maintain a healthy weight, improve your posture, and avoid heavy lifting. _Alternative treatments_: 1. _Epidural injections_: Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. 2. _Chiropractic care_: Spinal manipulation and adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the affected discs. _Monitor your condition_: 1. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to assess your progress. 2. Keep track of your symptoms, pain levels, and any changes. Discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific condition.

my mom had hip surgery recently and now she's developed a fungal infection there for the past two days - she also had head surgery before this, could that be related or making things worse? what should we do about the infection?
Fungal infection post-surgery needs antifungal treatment.Local care and hygiene are key.Head surgery may lower immunity.
