For the past week, I have had excessive saliva. It flows constantly except when I am asleep. I have recently given up opioids (morphine) in favor of medical marijuana. I am still on other long-term medications. I have not seen a doctor about this yet, but I was recently hospitalized for intestinal issues and had surgery four times, still with staples. What can I do about this excessive saliva?

I had a blue Obagi peel on March 28 and was prescribed Nystatin cream on April 1, which caused an allergic reaction leading to hospitalization. I was advised to use Aquaphor and keep the area clean. My skin is still red and mottled. When can I start wearing makeup again and should I replace my facial products?

My son cut his finger fairly deep last night. I washed it and put butterfly closure, polysporin, and a band aid on it. It stopped bleeding after pressure and it doesn't seem to have any swelling. How do we care for it now? Should he avoid getting it wet, and what are suggestions for shower time? How long do we leave the butterfly closure on, and should we change the bandaid daily? He is a type 1 diabetic, so I want to be careful what we do. He has had a tetanus shot.
