I'm wondering if it's a good idea to take medicine for deworming as an adult. I remember having it when I was a kid, but I'm not sure if it's necessary now. Can you help me out with some advice on this?

Is it healthy to sleep naked?

Although it is not scientifically proven, sleeping naked may help you to fall asleep faster and also helps in having better quality of sleep. Good quality of sleep inturn keeps skin healthy, reduces stress. Tight fitting or sweaty underwear can increase vaginal fungal infections which may be avoided by sleeping naked.

I'm struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for three days now. Could you recommend a tablet or something to help with it? I'm really looking for some relief.

I recommend using "Bonjela" gel for mouth ulcers. Apply a small amount directly to the ulcer up to 3 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take "Ibuprofen" 400mg tablets as needed for pain relief, up to 3 times a day after meals. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods to help with healing.
