We're trying to have a baby and I've been taking Vitafol 5mg folic acid tablets for the past three months. Is this the right supplement to be on and when's the best time to take it each day? Also, what should I do if I accidentally skip a dose?

For adults, the typical dosage of Azithromycin 500mg for sore throat is:

500mg once daily for 3-5 days

Alternatively, some doctors may prescribe:

500mg twice daily for 2-3 days

However, it's essential to consult a doctor for a personalized prescription, especially since you're experiencing a sore throat post-COVID.

Always follow the doctor's instructions and complete the full course of antibiotics.

I'm really worried about the results from my recent color Doppler. It showed a baby weight of 2.293 grams, AFI at 6.5, and two loops of the cord around the neck. The doctor suggested I might need a c-section because of the nuchal cord and low AFI. Is there any chance I could still have a normal delivery? And is it possible to increase the AFI by drinking around 3-4 liters of water now?

its better you undergo c- section. afi cannot be increased by drinking water

I found out I have a 3mm cyst in my uterus and I'm 32 years old can this be treated with medicine or would I need surgery? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is for my age

A 3mm uterine cyst is often benign and might not require surgery. Your doctor may recommend observation and regular follow-ups unless symptoms develop.

I'm really worried because I missed my period and took an unwanted kit, but there was no bleeding. So, I went to a doctor who gave me some abortion pills, but still nothing happened. She checked with a home pregnancy kit, which came out negative, and mentioned that bleeding should occur within 15-20 days. It's been a month now, and still no bleeding. What could be going on?

Get yourself an USG abdomen done to rule out the status of uterus,visit Gynaecologist for the same and appropriate management
