Is Flickering Of Eyelids And Lips Due To Hydrea Treatment?
Hello Doctor, I have flickering lower lip and also get constant flickering of upper eye lids. My lips and eyelids don t flicker at the same time but they remain for days. I use computer for very long hours during day and I am also on hydrea, folic acid and penicilin as a part of sickle/thal disease management. I am worried whether this flickering of eyelids or lips is due to hydrea treament or is it due to other reason. Thanks for your help. Regards
I can understand your concern. According to me, hydrea treatment is not responsible for the flickering of eyelids and lips, but Vitamin B12 deficiency may be. Your nutrition supplements does not contain this molecule.
I would advise you to start Neurokind (over-the-counter available Vitamin B12 Supplement) tablet once a day for at least a month. It may take up to 15 days to achieve desired level of this vitamin in body to stop the flickering so you may have to wait for 2 weeks.
If it does not improve, then you may need to see a neurologist for examination and further investigations.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have further questions.
Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
