There is no recorded evidence that papaya would cause problems during pregnancy,no need to worry you can forget about it,if you notice any spotting or pain abdomen visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate managemnet.

Question

I've found out that I'm 47 days pregnant after an ultrasound confirmed it's in the uterus. I'm really worried and want to end the pregnancy at home. Can you please guide me on which medicine I should take and how to use it safely?

Question

My wife gave birth to our baby last week, and now she's running a fever. Can she take Combelfam Solo 650 for it? It's just for first aid until we can see the doctor. Let me know if that's okay just for a regular fever.

Question

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and got some test results, but I'm not sure what they mean. It says I have a few ringworm of P. falciparum, and the Widal test shows some positive results. Does this mean I have a lot of malaria or any thyroid issues? Can these be treated so they don't harm me or my baby? Also, I often notice a cream discharge, but it usually doesn't have a smell. Could this be related? I would really appreciate your advice.
