Asked for male, 32 years old from Mahabubnagar

My wife is 5 month pregnancy and suffering from cold and cough and some body pain. Is it safe to ascoril syrup.

Don't give ascoril for common cold. It contains terbutaline, and will increase herat rate. Use only simple cough remedies like benadryl cough formula, which contains only diphenhydramine and ammoniumchloride.

Yes, digene is safe in pregnancy but take one tablet (gel is good) on the other hand you should take sufficient amount of water (3-3.5 ltrs) & avoid spicy & chilly foods .keep your month clean by 2 times teeth brush morning & bedtime & gargling with warm water after each meal. Most importantly take little bit of water before and after meal but take after half an hour.

I am a 32 year old female. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in November had one of my tubes removed. I have been getting morning sickness for past week from about 7 to 10 am every morning i'm getting headaches back pain. Sensitive breasts and like a snotty discharge for last week then one day or two days during that week bloody discharge. I am thought maybe i'm pregnant again so I did a pregnancy test last friday and I did a pregnancy yesterday both are negative. What else could it be if i'm not pregnant please help.

Ifthe urine pregnancy test is negative, there is nothing to worry. Hormonal imbalance could be the cause of blood stained discharge. Premenstrual tension produces sore breast too.

Bleeding after methotrexate for withdrawal is not absolutely necessary but you should correlate with your beta hcg once the beta hcg levels drop down you will get your period automatically.

You urgently need to consult a medicine specialist. Artesunate is generally safe in pregnancy and won't affect the baby. But fever needs to be brought down under control or it is detrimental to both.

If patient is asthmatic and the above drug could control her symptoms before pregnancy, then there is no harm if the drug is continued. But if patient is not asthmatic, it's better to go for other drugs.
