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?

My mom is 50 and has a 20 cm fibroid in her uterus. What's the best way to treat this without surgery? Is there a non-surgical cure or any natural remedies that could help shrink it?

I'm just wondering if it's okay to drink milk after having chicken. I'm pregnant and I've heard mixed things about it. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Is it safe for me and the baby?

The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention. _Possible Causes_ 1. *Phlebitis*: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration. 2. *Thrombophlebitis*: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area. 3. *Infection*: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus. _Immediate Action Required_ 1. *Consult her doctor*: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms. 2. *Seek emergency care*: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment. _Preliminary Care_ 1. *Apply warmth*: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling. 2. *Elevate the hand*: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Monitor for worsening symptoms*: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.
