Maintain proper dental hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing, and routinely cleaning your tongue to lessen bad breath. Mouthwash, avoiding strong-smelling foods, and drinking lots of water can all help, but persistent foul breath should be examined by a dentist or physician.

While Betadine (povidone-iodine) has some antifungal and antiseptic properties, it is not the most effective first-line treatment for ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection typically treated with specific topical antifungal creams. Because you mentioned redness and pustules, there could be a secondary bacterial infection present, or it might be a different skin condition entirely. I gently recommend having a healthcare professional examine this to ensure you get the right treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry.

Gargle with warm salt water or an antiseptic mouthwash (such as povidone-iodine) a few times a day to ease your sore throat. Stay hydrated by sipping warm fluids, such as tea or soup. For mouth ulcers, apply a protective oral gel or antiseptic ointment, and avoid spicy, acidic, or rough foods. Take paracetamol to reduce pain and mild fever if needed. Please see a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve.

When cold drinks trigger this, it is often due to temperature sensitivity causing local blood vessel changes, or silent acid reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux), where cold liquids stimulate throat sensitivity. Other possibilities include chronic tonsil irritation or mild allergies. For long-term comfort, try drinking lukewarm beverages and keeping well-hydrated. Since antiseptic gargles aren't solving the root cause, I highly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can gently examine your throat to find the exact cause and guide you toward lasting relief.

Since your fever, sore throat, and body aches are persisting despite paracetamol, it is important to be evaluated by a healthcare provider. These symptoms could indicate a viral illness or a bacterial throat infection that might require targeted treatment. In the meantime, please get plenty of rest and stay well-hydrated. You can continue paracetamol at safe intervals, or discuss adding ibuprofen with a doctor to help with the body aches and inflammation. Please seek a physical evaluation soon so we can help you feel much better.

When symptoms return after unprotected sex, it is often because your partner may be carrying the yeast without symptoms, passing it back to you. Additionally, semen can alter your vaginal pH, making it easier for infections to return. Since clotrimazole and Betadine haven't cleared this up, it is very important to see a healthcare provider. You may need a different prescription strength, or we may need to test for other common conditions that mimic yeast infections. This is very common and highly treatable. Your partner may also need to be treated.
