How Can Mouth Ulcers And Nose Bleeding Be Treated?
My husband is in Afghanistan. The past 4 days he's had nose bleeding at least 4-5 times a day, and now he has mouth ulcers. He thought he had allergies but has been out there for 6 months and the "allery" syptoms just started 2 weeks ago. Everything I look up about his symptoms points towards leishmaniasis. After getting that, how long would it take to start messing your organs up? Also, he never took his malaria pills.

Hi, is your husband suffering from leishmaniasis of other areas of skin. Because mucosal (nasal or oropharyngeal) spreads from cutaneous leishmaniasis after a long time. You must consult your doctor for treatment. Drugs prescribed are SSG, Amphotericin B(both injectable) or oral miltefosin.
