I'm Aysha, and I'm 24 years old. I've got a really bad case of cold and cough, and I'm also 8 months pregnant. I'm thinking about taking Pankajakasthuri granules for it, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe for me to use this while I'm pregnant?

I did take an ipill around the same time, and I'm wondering if that could be linked to the itching. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to relieve it?

My wife is feeling a bit under the weather with a mild cold, and she's in her third trimester right now. My uncle, who's an ENT doctor, recommended febrex plus and azithro 250 mg for her. I'm just a bit concerned and would love some input on whether these medications are okay for her to take at this stage. What do you think?

Can I take glucose to help increase my amniotic fluid index? My AFI is currently at 10 cm, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. What should I do to improve it?

One way to potentially increase your amniotic fluid levels is by staying hydrated and drinking plenty of fluids. Additionally, you can talk to your healthcare provider about taking medications such as Amnioinfusion, which is a procedure where saline solution is infused into the amniotic sac to increase fluid levels. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
