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 really worried because after having the HSG test this morning, my abdomen is in a lot of pain and I've developed a fever. I've also noticed some blood in my underwear. Can you recommend any painkillers that might help with this? I'm not sure if these symptoms are normal after the test.

Mild pain, cramping, and spotting are common after an HSG test. You can manage the discomfort with ibuprofen or paracetamol. If you have a fever, make sure to monitor it closely. If the symptoms worsen or don't improve in a day or two, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation
