Since it has only been three weeks, you can start using topical treatments like Mederma or silicone-based gels, provided all scabs have completely fallen off and the wounds are fully closed. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is also essential to prevent the scars from darkening. For advanced clinical options like laser resurfacing or microneedling, it is best to wait at least six months to allow your skin to mature naturally. A dermatologist can help guide you when your skin is ready.

I am so sorry you are dealing with these persistent, frustrating throat infections. Since strong antibiotics like moxifloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and linezolid haven't cleared this up, we should look beyond typical bacterial infections. I highly recommend seeing an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can perform a detailed exam, possibly using a small camera to look closely at your throat, and take specialized cultures to check for fungal or resistant organisms. We should also investigate non-infectious causes like silent acid reflux, allergies, or immune system health. There are many effective management options, sometimes including tonsillectomy, and we will work to find you lasting relief.

Her oxygen levels of 92-94% are borderline and require close monitoring. It is generally safe to continue Allegra M (fexofenadine and montelukast) and Reswas syrup (cloperastine) to help manage her cough. However, Defcort (deflazacort) is a steroid. While steroids are helpful in certain stages of COVID-19, they must be timed carefully. Because her oxygen is borderline, please consult her prescribing doctor immediately before administering Defcort. Monitor her oxygen levels every few hours, and seek urgent emergency medical care if her oxygen drops below 92% or if she experiences difficulty breathing.

Since Allegra did not provide relief and there is no discharge, this may be a localized skin irritation, a fungal infection, or a skin condition like lichen sclerosus. For temporary relief, a mild over-the-counter topical hydrocortisone cream or a protective barrier like petroleum jelly can soothe the skin. Please avoid harsh soaps and tight clothing. I highly recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an exam, as they can provide an accurate diagnosis and prescribe targeted treatments, like stronger topical steroids or antifungals, to help you find lasting relief.

To identify your specific triggers, an allergist can perform skin prick tests, blood tests, or guided food elimination trials. Your elevated eosinophils simply confirm your body is in an active allergic state. To address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms, allergen immunotherapy (such as allergy shots or sublingual drops) is a highly effective, medically sound way to retrain and gently modulate your immune system over time. I highly recommend consulting an allergy specialist to safely guide you toward long-term relief.

Throat itching during a fever is usually due to throat irritation or infection. Drink warm fluids and keep your throat moist to reduce discomfort. Avoid cold drinks, dust, and smoke, as they may worsen irritation. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or become severe.
