I'm just wondering if it's okay to drink milk after having chicken. I'm pregnant and I've heard mixed things about it. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Is it safe for me and the baby?

The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention.
Possible Causes
- Phlebitis: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration.
- Thrombophlebitis: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area.
- Infection: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus.
Immediate Action Required
- Consult her doctor: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms.
- Seek emergency care: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment.
Preliminary Care
- Apply warmth: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling.
- Elevate the hand: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling.
- Monitor for worsening symptoms: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.

View allI had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?
Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.

So, my wife was supposed to have her period about two weeks ago, but it never showed up. We tried using a pregnancy test a couple of times, but it keeps saying negative. But now she tells me she actually got her period yesterday. We've been married for a year, and this is the first time she's ever missed her period. We're a bit confused right now. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
