Question

I'm dealing with pinworms in my stomach again and, from what I remember, I used to take ZENTEL for this when I was a kid. I'm really unsure about how to proceed. Could you guide me on what I should do?

For pinworms, the typical adult dose of Zentel (Albendazole) is 400mg, taken as a single dose, and repeated in 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination of the parasites

Question

I'm a 35-year-old woman who's been dealing with lax LES since 2019. The first signs were a persistent cough, and after an endoscopy, they diagnosed me with this condition. I've been sleeping on an elevated bed or wedge pillow since then, but I'm still struggling with the symptoms. It feels like a nightmare. Is there any real treatment for this? Right now, I'm dealing with constant heartburn, a sour taste in my mouth, a heavy chest, and some breathing issues. It's like I'm experiencing these symptoms non-stop. What can I do?

Question

I've been experiencing this upper right chest pain that happens whenever I laugh, and it really worries me. The pain just appears when I'm laughing and then disappears. Recently, I've also been burping quite a lot. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's dealing with an anal fissure and he's been feeling extremely fatigued lately. It's so bad that he can't even walk on his own. Plus, he's running a fever, which just adds to his discomfort. What should we do to help him manage all these issues, especially the fatigue? Any advice would be really appreciated.
