I'm about to hit 10 weeks pregnant in a couple of days and I'm really curious if it's safe for me to take Benadryl or any kind of allergy medicine right now.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and Silybon 70 (Milk Thistle) can be taken with food to improve absorption.

Take UDCA with breakfast and dinner, as prescribed by your doctor.

Typical dosage: 1-2 capsulestablets (250-500 mg) 2-3 times a day.

For Silybon 70, take 1 capsule (70 mg) 2-3 times a day with meals.

Follow your doctor's specific instructions for dosage and timing.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

My wife is about 5 months pregnant and she's been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable itching for the past couple of weeks. I'm really concerned about it and wondering if there's any safe medicine or anything we could try to help with this.

For itching during pregnancy, especially in the 5th month, consider the following options under medical guidance: topical creams like calamine lotion, aqueous cream, or E45 cream; oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine; or natural remedies like coconut oil, olive oil, or oatmeal baths; however, always consult your obstetrician before administering any medication to ensure safety for both mother and fetus.

I'm currently using a Symbicort 320 inhaler and I'm a bit worried about how to manage it after my c-section delivery. I'm concerned I might not be able to inhale it properly when the time comes, considering the incision and all. Could you advise me on any alternative medications I should consider for that period? I'm at 30 weeks and 0 days into my pregnancy today.

I recently had a c-section on the 11th of May, and I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a post-delivery belt around my abdomen while I sleep. Is it safe, or should I avoid it for now?

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.
