I've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.

Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm really worried about these dark spots on my face and I just want to know how I can get a clean and clear complexion without them. Can you give me some advice on what to do? Is there a plan or treatment you recommend to help with this?

I recommend using a combination of topical treatments to help lighten the dark spots on your face. You can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily in the evening. In the morning, you can apply a vitamin C serum, such as Celin Vitamin C Serum, to help brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day, like Sunban Ultra Gel, is crucial to prevent further darkening of the spots. Consistency is key, so make sure to follow this regimen daily for best results.
