Can we eat ice cream during periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

View allI've just found out I'm pregnant and recently got a vaginal infection. I'm in my first trimester and wondering if it's safe for me to use Clotrimazole ointment. I'm really worried about the effects it might have during this early stage of pregnancy. Could you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use, or if there's something else I should consider?

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

I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?
