Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Femoroacetabular impingement is abnormal contact and rubbing between the anterior femoral head and its socket that cause inflammation and pain over there.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. It looks like you initially had some allergic reaction to a chemical, maybe acetone, and there is suspicion of a superimposed bacterial infection. You can use over-the-counter antihistamines, like Allegra, once or twice daily with Flonase nasal spray. But kindly go to the doctor if you have a fever, chills, ear pain or discharge, difficulty in breathing, or shortness of breath despite using an inhaler or if symptoms do not get better with antihistamines or nasal spray, as in those cases, you may need antibiotics to clear the infection.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. If he does not need pain medications, he should get rid of these, especially the tablet Hydrocodone (Codeine). Also, he is taking too many antidepressants, which can not only risk his driving skills but also put him at high risk of serotonin syndrome. Tablet Prozac (Fluoxetine hydrochloride) and Nortriptyline (colloidal Silicon dioxide, Magnesium stearate, pregelatinized starch, and Sodium lauryl sulfate) are about the same class of drugs, and the tablet Atarax (Hydroxyzine hydrochloride) also makes one drowsy. But I suggest stopping all at once, as he may have withdrawal effects; discuss with his primary doctor and decrease doses one by one to stop all unnecessary medications.
