Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

I've been dealing with pretty bad acne on my cheeks lately, with new pimples popping up almost every other day. These turn into pus-filled spots and end up leaving some dark marks behind. The skin in that area seems almost lifeless now, with open pores that easily turn into blackheads and whiteheads. Whenever I try to deal with those, it often leads to more pimples or even injuries. Is there anything I can do to improve this situation? I'm 36 and I'm currently using Tivenca gel, Divaine 50 mg tablets twice daily, Ahaglow face wash, and a CDC solution with calamine, sulphur, and salicylic acid, along with Episoft. Does this sound like the right approach or should I be doing something different?
