My wife is 37 and in her 8th month of pregnancy with our second baby. She's been struggling with a heavy cold, runny nose, sneezing, cough, a mild fever, headache, and a burning throat with some pain. She's been taking Dolo 650 and Okacet 10mg, but they don't seem to be helping much. Could you recommend any other medications that might be safe for her during pregnancy? We're really concerned and would appreciate any advice you could offer.

I've had protected sex with my partner and she got her period the next day, but it came 10 days earlier than usual. It's been about 30 hours now and she's not bleeding anymore. Is there a chance she could be pregnant? I'm a bit worried and just want to understand what's going on.

Is there any way to get rid of a cyst without going through surgery? Also, what are some effective ways to manage really bad menstrual cramps?

Yes, there are various ways to manage or treat cysts without surgery. Many cysts, particularly ovarian cysts, will resolve on their own, especially if they are benign. Other cyst types, like sebaceous cysts, may be treated with heat compresses or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. For menstrual cramps, heat therapy, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief
