Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
That is good to know that you are on antibiotics. Just add Ibuprofen800mg twice daily by mouth. And if there is itching around the area, take tablet claritin once daily by mouth. Its all needed in medications.

Keep a good hydration. Take plenty of fresh fruit juices and high fiber diet. Keep a regular physical activity.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
