Pregnancy can be so scary, this patient developed reversible vasoconstriction syndrome in post partum leading to mesial temporal lobe sclerosis, causing her to have refractory seizures. She requires temporal lobe resection for relief 😮💨
Public service announcement:
Now that "modern" cough syrups are available only via prescriptions and not over-the-counter (OTC), as rightly pointed out, the other OTC option becomes alternative medicine.
Of these, Ayurveda and Homeopathy cough syrups are most likely to be in demand.
But buyer beware (this will be mostly the rural populace that will be affected).
Most Ayurveda cough syrups contain - Giloy (or Tinospora species) - the most common cause for herbal liver injury in India (>300 cases already reported in published literature including our multicenter series). Giloy plant consumption can make the adaptive immune system go into overdrive (due to presence of plant furano-diterpinoids) and autoimmune damage to the liver has been frequently recorded/ reported.

Most Homeopathic cough syrup formulations contain alcohol along with....cockroach (Blatta orientalis). Yes, this is true. Homeopaths believe that using crushed and macerated cockroach parts diluted with alcohol can reduce cough - because cockroach parts are responsible for cough/asthma at homes - so "like cures like" and they give you diluted roach-cocktails.

The way Telegram was just banned to ensure "smooth exams," don't be surprised if Twitter gets banned one day to ensure smooth, fact-free, narrative-safe, criticism-free elections.
Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.
The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.
This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.
Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.
Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
@KartiPC@NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.
