How dangerous is a left ovarian cyst that measures 51x36x43mm? Will it resolve on its own, or would I need medication or laparoscopic surgery to remove it? I'm really concerned and would like some advice.

A 51x36x43mm ovarian cyst (around 5cm in diameter) is not inherently dangerous, but it's a size that warrants monitoring and potentially further evaluation. It's possible the cyst could resolve on its own, especially if it's a functional cyst related to ovulation. However, larger cysts carry a slightly increased risk of complications like rupture, ovarian torsion, or pressure on other organs, and it's important to rule out malignancy, especially in postmenopausal women.

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold and cough recently. The cold is gone, but now I just have a dry cough that's making it really hard to sleep. Plus, my throat really hurts from all the coughing. I'm looking for some pregnancy-safe medicine that can give quick relief because the pain is just too much. By the way, I got tested and it's not COVID. Can you help me out with what I can take?
