I'm really worried about my husband. He was diagnosed with dengue and the doctor prescribed paracetamol and Omnix 200 DT. But now hes got all this redness and swelling on his face, and weird bumps on his tongue and neck. It seems pretty serious to me. What should we do next, and what kind of doctor should we be reaching out to for this?

Expired Medication Risks_ 1. _Reduced potency_: Expired medications may lose their effectiveness, which might not provide the desired relief for acidity-related problems. 2. _Increased risk of side effects_: Taking expired medications can increase the risk of adverse reactions or side effects. 3. _Toxicity_: In rare cases, expired medications can degrade into toxic compounds, which can be harmful. _Acidity Medication Specifics_ 1. _Antacids_: Expired antacids are unlikely to cause significant harm, but their effectiveness may be reduced. 2. _Histamine-2 (H2) blockers_: Expired H2 blockers, like ranitidine, may increase the risk of side effects. 3. _Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)_: Expired PPIs, like omeprazole, may also increase the risk of side effects. _What to Do Now_ 1. _Monitor your symptoms_: Watch for any adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. 2. _Contact a healthcare professional_: Reach out to your doctor, pharmacist, or a poison control center for guidance. 3. _Do not take any further expired medication_: Dispose of the expired medication and obtain a fresh prescription or over-the-counter medication.
