I've been prescribed Fluka 150 TDS for 5 days. Is it really okay to take Fluka 150 three times a day? I'm not questioning the doctor's treatment; I just need to know if it's safe because before, I was told to only take it once a week.

Hey, I'm 34 weeks and 2 days along, and my ultrasound shows a cephalic presentation with the placenta anterior. This is my fourth pregnancy. My first baby was a C-section at 33 weeks, second was a full-term SVD, and my third was a C-section at 36 weeks. It's been eight years since my last pregnancy. I'm currently on insulin with a dosage of 5050, 20 units in the morning and 10 at night. Do you think it's possible for me to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery this time around? I'm really curious about what would be safest for me and the baby.

Given the symptoms of cold, cough, and vomiting for 3 days, along with the medication already taken (antibiotic and cough syrup), here are some suggestions: 1. *Consult the pediatrician again*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician to reassess the child's condition and adjust the treatment plan if needed. 2. *Monitor vomiting*: If vomiting persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure the child stays hydrated with small, frequent sips of an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte). 3. *Cough syrup usage*: Continue administering the cough syrup as directed by the pediatrician. However, be aware of the potential side effects, such as drowsiness or stomach upset. 4. *Antibiotic course*: Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed by the pediatrician, even if symptoms seem to improve before finishing the medication. 5. *Supportive care*: Provide comfort measures, such as: - Offering a warm, comforting drink, like tea or broth. - Using a humidifier to relieve congestion. - Encouraging rest and relaxation. 6. *Watch for warning signs*: Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following: - Difficulty breathing - Severe vomiting or diarrhea - Fever above 104F (40C) - Severe headache or stiff neck - Refusal to drink fluids
