I have a stomach upset and am two weeks away from delivery. What medicine should I use?

Avoid self-medicating and concentrate on staying hydrated, eating light meals, and avoiding bland foods when your stomach is disturbed so close to birth. Before taking any medication, speak with your OB-GYN because some medications might not be safe to use in the latter stages of pregnancy.

A fishy odour can have different causes, so it is important not to self-diagnose or self-medicate. Consult a doctor for proper evaluation and confirmation before using any medicine, as the correct treatment and dose depend on the exact condition.

I am experiencing severe white vaginal discharge and have already tried medications like Fluka, Fluka Kit, and Metrogyl without any relief. What other medicines should I take to cure this?

Since you have not found relief with standard antifungals (Fluka) and antibacterials (Metrogyl), your symptoms may be caused by a resistant strain, a different infection (like Chlamydia or Gonorrhea), or non-infectious inflammation. I strongly advise against further self-medication. Please consult a gynecologist for a physical exam and a vaginal swab culture. This is crucial to identify the exact pathogen and prescribe targeted treatment, such as specific antibiotics or alternative antifungals. Avoid douching and scented products in the meantime.

What is the dosage for Metrogyl 400?

Depending on the infection, one tablet of Metrogyl 400 (metronidazole) is often taken two to three times a day after meals for five to seven days. Avoid alcohol throughout treatment and for 48 hours after quitting it, and always adhere to your doctor's instructions.

What medicines can I take for loose motion while I am 3 months and 20 days pregnant?

Strong anti-diarrheal medications should be avoided during pregnancy. Instead, concentrate on remaining hydrated with ORS, clear fluids, and light, bland foods. Your OB-GYN should prescribe any medicine, however your doctor may suggest pregnancy-safe alternatives like probiotics or paracetamol for discomfort if necessary.
