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.

I'm really hoping to find a doctor who has experience with treating intramural fibroids. I'm looking for someone who can make me feel comfortable and also guide me through my pregnancy treatment. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Finding the right doctor for intramural fibroid treatment can be challenging, especially when you're looking for someone who can provide a comfort zone and support your pregnancy treatment. When searching for a doctor, look for obstetricians or gynecologists with experience in treating fibroids, particularly intramural ones. You can ask questions like: What treatment options do they recommend? Do they have experience with pregnant patients? What's their approach to managing fibroid-related complications during pregnancy? Some doctors may recommend watchful waiting, while others might suggest surgical interventions like myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. It's essential to discuss your individual situation and determine the best course of action.

I've been really worried because I got dengue around July 21st, and my period was due on August 10th, but it's now the 19th and still nothing. Until now, my periods have always been regular. Could the dengue have messed up my cycle? I would really appreciate some advice.
