I'm wondering if it's safe for a mom who's breastfeeding to take deworming medication just five days after childbirth? Is there any potential risk to the baby, or should she wait a bit longer before doing this? Any advice would be really helpful!

Yes.

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.
