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 having a bit of a concern during sex with my husband. At the start of intercourse, I'm experiencing some biting or stinging sensation near the entrance of my vagina. I've had sex multiple times before and never had this issue. Also, I've noticed a thick white discharge coming from my vagina, not watery at all. After having sex, I noticed a bit of hard blood, like the kind I usually see during my periods. I'm just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Could it be a sign of something?

The sudden onset of vaginal biting or stinging sensations during sex, accompanied by abnormal white discharge and post-coital spotting, may indicate an underlying condition such as vaginal dryness, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or a possible allergic reaction; it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination
