I've been dealing with itching on both my hands and legs for the past three days, and I'm worried because there's been no improvement despite taking Allegra 180 mg and Defcort 6 mg. I had typhoid about ten days ago. Could this itching be related to that, or is it something else? I'm not sure if I should change my medication or if there's something else I should try. Any ideas on what's going on?

I'm interested in getting Botox and fillers to shape my face into a V-line and maybe enhance my nose too. I don't want surgical options, just non-invasive treatments. Can this actually work? Also, I'd like to see before-and-after results from real patients who've had this done to get an idea of what's possible. How safe and effective is this for achieving the look I want?

It is always good to consult a plastic surgeon for reshaping nose filler and Botox have no good result

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old daughter who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Her doctor suggested applying hhfudic cream three times a day for 10 days. I'm just wondering if it's really okay to use it like that. Is there anything else I should know or do?

No need to worry that's a viral infection and is usually self limiting, follow as your doctor advised and you can use the cream no problem, hygiene practice is the main stay for cure and prevention.
