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.

View allI'm 8 weeks pregnant and for the past week, I've been having some mild on and off lower abdominal pain. I had an ultrasound and everything looked normal, so no ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cysts, and my urine routine came back normal too. I'm just a bit worried about the pain and wondering if it's something I should be concerned about or if there are any other tests or precautions I should consider?
The mild lower abdominal pain you are experiencing could be due to the normal changes that occur during pregnancy. However, it's important to monitor this symptom and inform your healthcare provider if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief, following the recommended dosage on the package. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm sexually active and I've got a Mirena, but I'm worried because I've noticed these large, sometimes hard bumps on the inside of my thighs. Plus, there's this thick bump, like extra skin, under my clitoral hood, and I just found it while I was wiping. It doesn't have a head, and it hurts if I rub over it too hard. Should I be concerned about these bumps? What's going on with my skin down there?
The bumps on the inside of your thighs could be due to various reasons such as folliculitis, skin tags, or even genital warts. The thick bump under your clitoral hood may be a cyst or a blocked gland. For the bumps on the inside of your thighs, you can try using an over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. If they persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. As for the thick bump under your clitoral hood, it is important not to try to pop or squeeze it. You can try warm compresses to help reduce any discomfort. If it does not improve or if it becomes more painful, you should see a doctor for a proper evaluation.
