I'm seven months pregnant and I've been dealing with a dry cough since this morning. I'm considering taking Benadryl DR, but I'm not sure if it's safe at this stage of pregnancy. Are there other cough syrups you would recommend that are safe for me to use? I'm just experiencing a dry cough, nothing else weird going on.

Question

I'm pregnant and I'm worried about using Proanagen solution for my hair fall. Should I stop using it or is it safe to continue during pregnancy? Could it possibly affect my baby in any way? Please let me know.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

Question

I'm a 29-year-old working woman and I've been married for two years. We're trying for a baby and have been trying for the past couple of months. My period cycle is usually 31 days. I was expecting my period on the 24th of July but there's been no sign of it yet. I took a pregnancy test using Pregakem on the morning of the 27th, but the result was invalid; there were no lines at all. For the last 45 days, I've also been experiencing breast and nipple tenderness and have a cold sore on my lips. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I take another test or could there be something else going on?
