I'm noticing this thin white layer around my vagina that sometimes curdles up into a creamy texture. It's been itchy at certain times during the day, specifically on one of the labia minora where it looks like there's some extra skin development with tiny eruptions, and there's white stuff inside. There's no burning sensation, bad smell, or discharge though. It's been like this for 3 days with no changes. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Your symptoms, including a thin white layer around the vagina, curdling into a creamy texture, itching on the labia minora, and tiny eruptions with white contents, suggest a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis), but the absence of a foul odor and discharge makes it less clear-cut; consult a gynecologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment, as other conditions like vulvar dermatitis could also be possible causes.

My wife gave birth to our baby last week, and now she's running a fever. Can she take Combelfam Solo 650 for it? It's just for first aid until we can see the doctor. Let me know if that's okay just for a regular fever.

Yes. Paracetamol is safe during pregnancy and Lactation so it can be consumed. Combiflam contains ibuprofen along with Paracetamol which may lead to bleeding so better to avoid
