View allI'm alone with my father-in-law since my husband is out of town. He has an enlarged prostate, and I'm worried because he doesn't sleep well at night. I thought about giving him Avil 25, but I read online that it's not safe for someone with an enlarged prostate. I'm really concerned about what I should do. Do you think it's okay to give him this medication, or should I consider something else? Please let me know what would be best.
Avil (Pheniramine) should be used with caution in patients with prostate enlargement due to its potential to worsen urinary retention. It would be best to avoid giving Avil 25 to your father-in-law without consulting a healthcare professional. Instead, you can try non-medical interventions to help him sleep, such as creating a calming bedtime routine, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine close to bedtime. If his sleep troubles persist, it would be advisable to seek medical advice for a more suitable sleep aid.

I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis. They've been there for over two months. I don't feel any itching, and they showed up around the time I last had sex.

I'm also considering sharing some pictures for reference. What do you think?
That could be STD visit nearest STD clinic or consult Dermatologist for appropriate management.
