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?

I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.
