I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy and started having this cough since last night. Could you suggest any remedies? I'm really concerned if this could be harmful to my baby.

As a pregnant woman in your 7th month, it's essential to manage your cough safely; consider trying warm liquids like tea or broth, honey, and saline drops; avoid cough medicines containing alcohol, caffeine, or codeine; instead, opt for pregnancy-safe cough medications like dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, after consulting your obstetrician; in general, a cough itself doesn't harm the baby, but underlying conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis can, so monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.

I'm really worried because there's minimal free fluid in my pelvis, and I've been having severe stomach pain. I was admitted to a nearby hospital, and the MD observed me, but my condition hasn't improved. Can anyone suggest what the underlying issue might be, or if there's a specific direction we should explore for better treatment?
Hydrocele can be uncomfortable. Since you're not experiencing pain, you can try the following non-surgical methods to reduce the size: 1. *Elevation*: Elevate your scrotum while sitting or lying down to reduce swelling. 2. *Supportive underwear*: Wear supportive, loose-fitting underwear to reduce pressure. 3. *Exercise*: Regular exercise, like cycling or swimming, can help improve circulation and reduce swelling. 4. *Dietary changes*: Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to improve overall health. If these methods don't help, consider consulting a urologist for surgical options, such as hydrocelectomy.
