Diclofen in pregnancy
I’m a 30 year old woman and 2 months pregnant. I’m using Diclofen tab to relieve pain in my legs. Can I continue using these tablets as and when there is pain or is it harmful to the baby or me?

Diclofenac is not advisable in pregnancy. You can use paracetamol (crocin). That's the only safe pain relief in pregnancy. Other than that, take coconut water and soak your feet in warm water
