I've been having mucus in my stool every day for over a month now. I used to have IBS and was dealing with constipation, but I'm feeling better since I started using Patanjali's Divya Churna, and my stool is passing more easily. I'm really worried about the mucus, though. Also, I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost more than 60% of my hair. Can you please help me figure out how to get rid of the mucus in my stool and stop the hair fall?

Question

I've been having a problem with loose stools for the past couple of days, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take Metrogyl 200 and Ellopar to help with this. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried because I recently found out I have a 3.7mm gall bladder polyp. My doctor told me I don't need further investigations for now and just to check again in six months to see if it grows. But I'm curious about why it might be there in the first place. Should I be doing something more about this now or is it okay to wait?

Question

My mom accidentally swallowed a small plastic stick that was on a cake. She drank some water, and it seems to have gone down her throat just fine. She's acting normal now, but I'm still a bit worried. What should we do next? Should we just wait and see, or is it better to get it checked out?
