I was feeling unwell, was given some anti malarial, not much change, later typhoid was suspected, but I didn't do a test. I've been on ciproflaxacin, I feel like going for a blood check up but it might not work since I've been on medicine, am asking for advice

Male | 20

It seems that dealing with a complex situation. Being sick and taking drugs can lead to inaccurate results of a blood test. Knowing exactly what is wrong is necessary for the right treatment. Symptoms of fever, stomach ache and general body weakness are common in both malaria and typhoid. Failing to go through the test may complicate matters further. My advice is to wait for some days after completion of the ciprofloxacin course before going for a blood test. This will enable you to get clearer results about your health status.

Your body pain, fatigue, constipation, swelling in the area of private, morning vomiting, and swallowed food are some of the reasons that may make your body feel stressed. These symptoms may guide you to a digestive problem or an infection. To begin, you should increase your water intake, take in small meals, and avoid spicy and oily food. It's essential to get the right treatment and a proper diagnosis from a gastroenterologist.

I have a piles issue and have undergone several surgeries, but now I'm experiencing stomach-related problems. In the morning, I have to go to the bathroom 3-4 times. Is this related to my piles, or should I consult another doctor?

Female | 27

Experiencing frequent bathroom visits in the morning can sometimes be linked to dietary habits, stress, or changes in bowel function, especially after multiple surgeries. While it may not directly correlate with your piles issue, it's essential to consult with a gastroenterologist to explore the underlying causes. Keeping a diary of your symptoms, including food intake and any discomfort, can be helpful for your doctor.

Female | 20

According to the information you have given, it appears that you might have symptoms such as too much gas and bowel sounds. These could result from different things including what you eat and drink habitually, problems with digestion or even tension. Make sure you take your time when eating; stay away from food items that make one gassy plus drink enough water. In case this doesn’t help then it would be wise to see a gastroenterologist for further assessment.

Hi - i have Mistakenly swallowed clingen forte tablet. Is this an are of concern? Should I rush to hospital?

Female | 28

Gulping down Clingen Forte's tablet inadvertently is a source of alarm. It is composed of Clotrimazole that can cause dizziness, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Please, tell your family doctor or the nearest hospital emergency room if you feel any of these signs. Another alternative for you is to have a colonoscopy, which is a diagnostic procedure done by a gastroenterologist.

IBS is a disorder that affects the digestive system and can be triggered by stress, certain foods, or medications. To help manage your symptoms, consider avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods and try adding more fiber to your diet. Drinking enough water and managing stress through relaxation exercises can also be helpful. If these tips don't work, it might be helpful to talk to a gastroenterologist. They can suggest other treatment options or make changes to your current medications.

Problem in swallowing, food get stuck in chest sensation, food comes back, chest pain and we did endoscopy Here the report Esophagus : Ulcerative growth at 34 cm from incisor continuing distally with luminal narrowing, scope could not be negotiated beyond 37 cm from incisor

Male | 80

Swallowing troubles, stuck food feeling, and chest pain seem tricky. Your endoscopy report reveals an ulcer growth in the esophagus (food travel tube). This growth narrows the opening, obstructing food movement. To ease this, your gastroenterologist might suggest treatments like medication or surgery to reduce inflammation and heal that ulcer.

Redness after poo, too much pain and lump on anus

Male | 17

You might have an anal tear that could be the cause of this issue. It might result in redness, pain, and swelling. Increasing fluid intake and consuming high-fiber foods may aid in softening stools. Prevent straining while you use the toilet. A small, warm bath for your bottom is good to use too, as a means of healing. In case of constant pain, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Hi my name is Rachael and I recently cought the stomach flu and I need to know what else to take besides peptobismal

Female | 31

The symptoms are pain in the abdomen, vomiting, and diarrhea. Viruses are the main culprits that lead to this issue, so antibiotics are not suitable. Besides Pepto-Bismol, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and rested. Hands-on, dry bread like crackers and rice can also make a difference. If the symptoms get severe or last longer then consult a gastroenterologist.
