I've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.

Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm wondering if it's okay to apply Xerina cream to my armpits to help with the rough skin and dark patches there. My doctor originally prescribed it for my elbows, but can it also be used on areas with inflammation? I'm just curious if it would be safe and effective.

I've been experiencing this strange sensation after walking for about 510 minutes. It feels like a needle prick on my skin, followed by some rashes, but they disappear after like 15 minutes. Any idea what could be going on? Should I be worried about this?
The symptoms you described, a needle prick sensation on the body followed by rashes that resolve within 15 minutes after walking, may indicate Cholinergic Urticaria, a heat-induced allergic reaction that causes hives and itching; other possible causes include Exercise-Induced Urticaria, Stress-Induced Hives, or even an allergic reaction to clothing, detergent, or environmental factors
