Hi

Headache, dizziness, fever, weakness, tiredness, dry mouth, dry skin, other skin changes, thinning hair, nausea, vomiting, itching, bone pain, mouth sores, increased sweating, and earache are the common side effects of tretinoin. Your symptoms may not be associated with tretinoin intake.

Any malnutrition,anemia should be identified and treated.Basic blood tests including complete hemogram,Thyroid profile should be tested. Deworming can be done with albendazole single dose in case of suspected worm infestation.

Increase protein intake by increasing milk eggs,pulses in diet.Adequate hydration is essential.Weekly weight monitoring should be done to detect any sudden loss of weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
