Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
She can take tablet cetrizine twice a day for 3-5 days and then as and when required.

Brief Answer:
Very helpful

Detailed Answer:
Yes sir, you can have the medicines as advised.
Susten and folic acid are a must have and diamet is very important as she had PCOD before conception so it is advisable to continue it till 3 months of pregnancy.
Susten is a progesterone and helps in giving right blood flow to placenta and thus baby.
Folic acid is for the growth of baby and
She should also have a light walk daily and a lot of salads and fruits as source of antioxidants.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Rest and susten advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, it is not a good sign to have bleeding but still nothing conclusive can be stated except that it can be just implantation bleeding which will settle by itself or an early indication of impending abortion.
In latter case extra caution needs to be taken and thus rest is advised along with susten as advised for at least 15 days and thus you should avoid traveling as you were planning initially.
Since abortion process and implantation bleeding cannot be differentiated from each other, rest is the most important management.
For cough take tusq or strepsils lozenges 4-5 times a day and in case it gets severe visit a physician for proper examination as it can be an early sign of asthma and thus should not be taken lightly.
Ask her to avoid cold beverages and take lukewarm water always.
Take care
