Please which medicine is good for dryness
Female | 30
Symptoms of dryness may be the result of many factors e.g. dry climate, dehydration or some disease like Sjogren's syndrome. In order to identify a specific cause of the problem, you have to see a doctor. For skin conditions like dry skin, a dermatologist can prescribe the correct moisturizer, yet for the eyes, an ophthalmologist can suggest eye drops. Self-medication is hazardous and should be totally avoided.

So I had sepsis back in August of 2023 I have fully recovered since then and was wondering is it safe to get a piercing
Female | 19
It is recommended to wait at least a year after recovering from sepsis before getting a piercing. This is to ensure that your immune system has fully recovered and can handle any potential infections. It is also advised to consult with an immunologist or infectious disease specialist before getting a piercing to ensure that it is safe for you.

If the cat broke your skin, you may feel pain, see redness, and notice swelling. Cat bites can transfer bacteria into your skin, possibly causing infection. Clean the area with soap and water, use an antiseptic, and watch for infection signs like more pain or redness. If those develop, seek medical care quickly.

It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

Female | 51
From the symptoms you have given, it is likely that your sister’s sleep disorders arises from her diabetes complication. I suggest that you see a sleep expert and get her tested to determine the kind of treatment needed. In terms of her falls, it is necessary to consider a neurologist in order not to miss any underlying issue with the nervous system. Make sure you consult your doctor every time an issue pertaining to health arises.
