Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Dry smelly mouth can be either due to leukoplakic lesions on oral cavity or due to pericoronitis as a result of wisdom tooth impaction.

Apply topical steroid on the affected area.

Brush and floss your teeth as well as tongue daily.

Gargle with chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinses,twice daily.

Salivary substitutes has to be administered to prevent dry mouth.

I would suggest you to take plenty of fluids as well as nutritious diet.

Discontinue the habit of tobacco or pan chewing.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Before addressing your concern salivary substitutes can added for dry

mouth and gargle your mouth with chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash 0.12%

which reduces bacteria in your mouth.

World Health Organization guidelines consider that HIV testing is conclusive at 3

months (12 weeks). Antibody tests (e.g. rapid or 3rd generation test) have a

window period between 4-12 weeks with up to 95% of infections detectable

within 4-6 weeks. That is, any HIV test result at, or after, 3 months is a

definite indicator and no retest is necessary. But a test that is received within

the window period, although not conclusive, is a good indicator of you status.

for redness on the vein tip of penis seek help of dermatologists.

regards
