I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and I've been having a really hard time with constipation. Drinking a lot of water doesn't seem to help much. Even when I take 15ml of Duphalac syrup at night, I'm still struggling to pass stool and have to push really hard. Are there any home remedies or other suggestions you could give me to help with this?

I'm dealing with a really bad cold, and it's making my nose run a lot. I'm also sneezing and coughing, and sometimes I get headaches too. I didnt see a doctor, but I took this medicine called Citzine. Now, I've noticed that my vaginal discharge seems a lot more than usualit's clear, slimy, and watery. Could this be related to my cold, or is it something else? Or maybe it's a side effect of the Citzine? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

BOTH ARE SEPARATE PROBLEM NO RELATION WITH CETRIZINE. FOR RUNNING NOSE TAB CHESTON COLD TOTAL TWO TIMES A DAY AFTER FOOD FOR THREE TO FIVE DAYS. TAB MONTUK 10 MG ONE AT NIGHT FOR THREE TO FIVE DAYS OR AS REQUIRED.
