I'm 6 weeks pregnant and dealing with a really bad dry cough. I don't have any symptoms like a cold or a runny nose, just this persistent dry cough. I'm a bit worried about what cough syrup is safe for me to take during pregnancy. Any advice on what I should use?

I'm just wondering how long we should wait to be intimate again after my wife had a cesarean operation and underwent family planning. Could you let us know what's a safe timeframe for recovery before we get together?

After a cesarean section and family planning procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing properly.
