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.

I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and none of the treatments I've tried seem to be making any difference. I've used terbinafine and clotrimazole cream, ketoconazole lotion and soap, and even took terefin and itrasys tablets. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I could try next or why these aren't working? What should I do?
