I'm about four months along in my pregnancy, and I've been dealing with a blocked nose since around the sixth week. On top of that, for the past week or so, I've developed a cough with mucus from my throat. My doctor recommended taking Taxim O 200 for five days, and I just finished the course. However, I'm still experiencing wheezing and chest congestion. In the past, I've taken Budamate 200 with my doctor monitoring, but I'm unsure now if using the inhaler is safe during pregnancy. Could you provide some guidance on this?

  1. Safety of Budamate 200 Inhaler During Pregnancy

    • Budamate 200 contains Formoterol and Budesonide. Budesonide is generally considered safe in pregnancy, but Formoterol is Category C, meaning risks cannot be ruled out.
    • Use only if benefits outweigh risks, under medical supervision.
  2. Managing Wheezing and Chest Congestion in Pregnancy

    • Controlling symptoms is crucial for oxygen supply to you and your baby.
    • Persistent symptoms may need further evaluation despite antibiotic use.
  3. Recommendations and Next Steps

    • Consult your obstetrician and a respiratory specialist.
    • Consider re-evaluation of your respiratory status, possibly with lung function tests.
    • Inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators can be used safely when necessary.
  4. Additional Supportive Measures

    • Manage nasal congestion with saline sprays and stay hydrated.
    • Avoid irritants like smoke and strong odors.
  5. Monitoring and Follow-up

    • Regular follow-up is essential to adjust treatment.

What's the best way to permanently remove a rasoli from my uterus? I've heard about laser treatments are they an option for this, and how effective are they compared to other surgeries? I'm a bit worried about the recovery and long-term effects.

The most definitive way to permanently remove "rasoli" (uterin fibroids) from the uterus is hysterectomy, which involves removing the entire uterus. Myomectomy, which involves surgically removing only the fibroids while preserving the uterus, is another option, particularly if you want to maintain your fertility. Laser treatments, like those used for laser hair removal or in laparoscopic myomectomy, are not a primary treatment for fibroids and are not a definitive solution

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
