Question 1

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?

To prevent or delay further hair loss, you can consider using minoxidil solution, which is available over the counter. Minoxidil is known to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Another option is finasteride, a prescription medication that can help in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, as deficiencies can contribute to hair loss. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments, as these can damage the hair and worsen the condition. Additionally, managing stress levels and getting adequate sleep can also support hair health. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
