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?

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.

Is oral sex safe for my partner and me, or are there risks we should be worried about? If there are, what steps can we take to make it safer? We've engaged in oral sex, so I'm wondering if we should see a doctor to ensure everything is okay.

Oral sex can be safe for both partners if precautions are taken, such as using dental dams or condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid oral sex if either partner has sores or infections. If you have concerns about any potential impact, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor for a check-up.
