I'm really curious about finding the best probiotic available in India since my digestion has been really sluggish lately. I've heard that probiotics can help improve digestion, so Id love to know which brands are recommended and effective. Can you suggest a good one?

For sluggish digestion, VSL#3, Probiotic Sachets by Darolac, or Eubiotics are highly recommended probiotics available in India. These contain multiple strains of beneficial bacteria to support gut health. Always consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have any medical conditions.

Question

I've been dealing with a scratchy throat that keeps coming and going for the last six months. It doesn't really hurt or cause major issues, just feels a bit rough sometimes. Plus, for the past two months, I've noticed my papillae are inflamed, which might be why I have this white coating on my tongue. I've visited ENT specialists, but the antibiotics they prescribe don't make a difference. The scratchy throat seems to come and go, but the inflamed papillae and that scrappable white coating on my tongue aren't going away. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried or try something different?

Question

I've been having some health issues since June 10th. Initially, it was mild but seems to have gotten worse. I even got a COVID test done on June 17th, and thankfully it was negative. The main issues are shortness of breath, especially after meals or some physical activity, a feeling of choking in the throat just below my neck, constant burping throughout the day, and weakness. Oddly enough, I sleep well and feel alright for about a couple of hours during the day. I saw a Pulmonologist on the 30th, and after doing some tests like Echo, X-ray, and HRCT, the report didnt show anything serious. They prescribed Montair Fx, Mucotab ET 600mg, PAN D, and Etilaam. But it's been 8 days on these meds with no real improvement. Im starting to worry. Could you suggest which type of doctor I should consult next?

Question

I'm dealing with this strange issue where I have gas and anal itching, and it always seems to happen right after nocturnal ejaculation or masturbation. It's really frustrating because it clears up after a few days, but I'm worried because I've noticed this at least 10 times over the past 23 months. I've done blood tests and stool tests, and everything comes back normal. Every doctor I've consulted says there's no connection, but I'm not convinced. What could be causing this, and how can I solve it?
