I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my doctor recommended Dexorange syrup for me. I'm a bit concerned because I noticed it contains 5.5% alcohol. Is it safe for me to be taking this during pregnancy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dexorange syrup contains iron and other vitamins, but the alcohol content is a concern during pregnancy. While the amount is small, it's best to consult your doctor regarding its use, as alcohol consumption during pregnancy is generally advised against. Your doctor may suggest an alternative iron supplement without alcohol.

I'm concerned about my breast size because they seem really small and it's been a bit of a struggle for me. I'm 28 now and I've tried massaging to help them grow, but it's just painful and hasn't worked for me. Can you suggest anything that might help?
If massage is not helping and causing pain, you may consider speaking with your doctor about the possibility of using hormonal therapy. One common medication used for this purpose is "Ethinyl estradiol and Drospirenone" in the form of oral contraceptive pills. The dosage and duration would need to be determined by your doctor after a thorough evaluation. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
