I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?

I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and I'm wondering if its okay for me to take Allegra or Cetirizine on the day of my embryo transfer and afterwards. Can you advise? I'm kinda anxious about how these meds might affect the process or the embryo itself. What do you suggest I do?

For chronic urticaria, you can take Allegra (Fexofenadine) or Cetirizine. On the day of embryo transfer, you can take Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily. After embryo transfer, you can continue taking Allegra 180mg once daily or Cetirizine 10mg once daily as needed for your chronic urticaria.
