Suggest Treatment For Pemphigus Vulgaris
My daughter has been diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris and she cant eat much right now because her mouth is full of blisters. She lost 30 lbs. She is under the care of a specialist but it is difficult to get his attention for too long. Where can I get a list of OK foods for her when she is ready to eat.

Hello,
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disease of the skin and mouth (mucous membrane).
Autoantibodies attack molecules that essentially hold the skin cells together, causing them to separate and result in blisters.
Avoid spicy foods (e.g., garlic and onions) and nuts, which may help relieve symptoms.
Antibiotic ointment or cream can help treat the infection – An antibiotic that includes a local painkiller can bring some relief of pain associated with pemphigus vulgaris.
Eat a soft liquid diet with plenty of calories. Avoid oily masala food with spicy nature.
Local corticosteroid or anesthetic drugs may useful.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
