Wash your: mouth regularly with an antiseptic (OTC) mouthwash and ask your Dentist to take a look and see if there is a reason why this happened and why it will not heal! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

I have a little bump on the center of my left eyelid that hurts. I can't see a head. I applied a warm compress and it stings --possibly I scratched on my sleep and caused it. I also applied a little bit of petroleum jelly on it. What else can I do?

Inability to sleep properly. Eating makes me feel a bit nauseous. Head and muscles feel weak and heavy. Could this be symptoms of exhaustion?
