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.

So I had a scan at 8 weeks, and they saw an empty sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole. I've just done a repeat scan, and now there's a yolk sac measuring 3.5mm. Should I just hang in there a bit longer, or does this mean it's not going to work out? Is there any chance things might turn around? My last menstrual period was on November 24, 2020.

I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?
Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.
