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've been dealing with a painful Bartholin abscess or cyst and wondering if homeopathy can actually cure it completely or if surgery is the only option. Does homeopathy really work for this and can it prevent it from coming back?
Marsupialization. If cysts recur or bother you, a marsupialization (mahr-soo-pee-ul-ih-ZAY-shun) procedure may help. Your doctor places stitches on each side of a drainage incision to create a permanent opening less than 1/4-inch (about 6-millimeter) long

I'm noticing some stringy brown discharge for about a week now whenever I wipe. My period's due on the 28th of May, and we're trying for a baby. Can you tell me what's going on with this?
You may be experiencing ovulation bleeding, which can sometimes occur when you are trying to conceive. It is usually nothing to worry about and can be a sign of fertility. However, if you are concerned, you can try taking folic acid supplements to support your fertility.

I'm 8 days late for my period, which is unusual since they're usually regular. I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative, but I'm experiencing leg pain and there's a white milky discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on with my body?
Its possible that stress, hormonal changes, or other factors like infection could be affecting your cycle, even with a negative pregnancy test. The leg pain and milky discharge might also indicate something like an early hormonal imbalance or a vaginal infection. Its best to follow up with your doctor for a more thorough evaluation if your period doesn't start soon.
