I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

View allI'm 5 weeks pregnant and my recent urine test showed pus cells of 20-25. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it lead to any serious issues?
Widal Test Report Interpretation _Positive Result_: The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows: 1. _Salmonella Typhi O (1:160)_: Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen. 2. _Salmonella Typhi H (1:40)_: Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen. _Impression: Positive (+ve)_ This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection. _Dietary Recommendations_: During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest: 1. _Fluids_: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water. 2. _Bananas_: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium. 3. _Rice_: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach. 4. _Applesauce_: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit. 5. _Lean proteins_: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu. 6. _Avoid spicy and fatty foods_: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I'm really concerned about my friend's situation because his wife's vaginal area is too tight and it's making sex really difficult for them. He reached out to me for advice and I suggested they try a water-based lube since I had read about it online somewhere, but I'm not sure which one is the safest or most effective without side effects. What would you recommend for them?
Taking expired Augmentin may reduce its effectiveness, but it's unlikely to cause harm. However, as a breastfeeding mother, it's essential to consider the potential impact on your baby. Augmentin is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, but expired medication may affect its safety profile. Consult your healthcare provider or a lactation expert for personalized advice on continuing breastfeeding.

I'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?
Repeat the scan at 7 weeks of gestation and observe,follow your Obstetricians advice.
