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.

View allI have a 2 mm uterine fibroid and experiencing spotting between periods with irregular cycles. I'm trying to conceive are there any medications to treat fibroids without needing surgery?
Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My wife is in her 13th week of pregnancy and after doing an Usg level 1 scan, the doctor suggested she start taking ecosprin 75mg daily to help with blood thinning because there's high resistance in the right uterine artery. I'm a bit worried and I just want to know if it's actually safe for her to take ecosprin during pregnancy. What could be the risks or benefits?
Ecosprin 75mg is safe to take during pregnancy, especially for the indication of blood thinning to improve uterine artery blood flow. It is commonly used to prevent complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Make sure your wife takes Ecosprin 75mg once a day as prescribed by the doctor.
