I'm really worried about my sister because she's been experiencing pain on the right side of her rib. It's been tough figuring out who we should consult for this. Could you help point us in the right direction or suggest which specialist might be best to see?

Generally, eyebrow threading and upper lip threading are safe during pregnancy. However, to minimize risks: 1. Ensure the threading area is clean and sanitized. 2. Use a new, sterile thread. 3. Avoid excessive pulling or tugging. 4. Consider doing a patch test before threading.

Question

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?
