Answer 1

Clofibrate is not available in the Indian market. It has been used in the treatment of indirect non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia in dose of 100 mg, Kg as a single dose.
For relief of painful stomatitis, one can apply Topical Lidocaine or Benzocaine and take oral NSAIDS. Specific treatment would depend on the cause such as Acyclovir for herpetic stomatitis, antifungals for oral thrush.
