My wife is 25 weeks pregnant and has been suffering from painful external hemorrhoids for the past 6 days. The general surgeon prescribed anti-inflammatory cream, Ultracet tablets, anti-swelling meds, fiber-rich food, water, milk, and stool softeners, but she's still in a lot of discomfort. Is hemorrhoid surgery safe during pregnancy or are there other options we should consider? The pain isn't easing up and we're really worried about her condition.

Hemorrhoid surgery during pregnancy is generally discouraged due to potential risks and complications. While the general surgeon has prescribed conservative treatments, it's crucial to explore other options for pain relief and discomfort management during pregnancy

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?
