Steven Johnson Syndrome - #17007
A few months ago, my cousin developed Steven Johnson Syndrome after taking an antibiotic. At first, it was just a rash on his skin, but within a day, it started spreading rapidly. His skin became red and painful, and his lips were covered with sores. It got so bad that he had to be admitted to the hospital. The doctors said it was a severe allergic reaction, and he was put on IV fluids and other treatments. Now that he’s back home, his skin is still very sensitive, and he has dark patches where the rashes were. His eyes are also very dry, and he feels weak most of the time. The worst part is that he gets anxious thinking that Steven Johnson Syndrome might happen again if he takes another medicine. The doctors told him to be careful with medications, but he still feels very insecure about his health. Since Steven Johnson Syndrome is such a rare and severe reaction, we were wondering if Ayurveda has any natural ways to heal the body after such a condition. Can Ayurveda help in skin regeneration and reducing scars left by Steven Johnson Syndrome? Are there herbs that can help strengthen the immune system and prevent such reactions in the future? We’ve been told that cow ghee and aloe vera are good for skin healing, but we are not sure if they are safe for someone who had Steven Johnson Syndrome. What other Ayurvedic remedies can help with post-recovery care? Also, is there a way to detox the body so that it becomes less reactive to medicines? We are looking for a natural approach to help him feel strong and safe again.
