I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've been having a really bad throat infection along with a blocked nose and cough. My gynecologist advised me to take Augmentin 625 Duo, which I've been on for the past two days. The cough was quite bad, so I decided to start Montek LC as well. I took a dose at about 3 PM yesterday, and then another half dose at midnight. I'm continuing with the antibiotics for another three days to finish the course. Can you tell me if taking these medications together is safe?

It's generally safe to take Augmentin 625 Duo (amoxicillin-clavulanate) as prescribed by your gynecologist for 5 days, and Montek LC (montelukast) as needed for cough, but taking an extra half dose of Montek LC at midnight may not be necessary, so consult your doctor to confirm the dosage and ensure safe use during pregnancy, as both medications are category B, meaning animal studies have shown no harm, but human studies are limited.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took 2 Zandu Parad tablets a few weeks ago, and I'm currently one month pregnant. The tablets have mercury 30 mg and Khatika 60 mg in them. They're usually used in households for things like protecting grains. I haven't had any symptoms or felt unwell, but I'm concerned about any potential effects on my baby. Could there be any risks or side effects from this? Would love some advice on what I should do next.

Question

I'm curious about the safety of oral sex with my partner. We've never been with anyone else, and we're both in good health. We're interested in exploring this intimately in our marriage, but we want to know if it's safe for our health, especially since we're quite health-conscious. Could you advise us on this?

Question

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My husband has been getting treatment for lymph node tuberculosis for the past 9 months, but he stopped the medication 10 days ago and seems to be better now. We've been married for a year and I've been wondering if it's okay to try to conceive during his TB treatment. Now my period's late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. Is there a risk with his recent medication, or is it safe for us to start planning for a baby?
