Can a 14mm gallstone be healed without surgery and how long would it take Is there a chance it might come back even after treatment I don't have any symptoms right now but I'm wondering if homeopathy can dissolve the stone completely or if surgery is the better option If homeopathy can make the stone disappear, I'd like to know before visiting the clinic

A 14mm gallstone is unlikely to be resolved without surgery. While homeopathy might help manage symptoms, it's not a proven method for dissolving gallstones, especially of this size. Surgery, like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the most common and effective treatment for larger gallstones to prevent complications

I've been having this really annoying itching around my anus, especially at night and in the evening. It almost feels like something's crawling around in there. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been trying to cut back on sweets, hoping it might help. Do you know what could be causing this, and is there any medicine I should try? If you can suggest something, could you also let me know how and when to take it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a single dose at night before bedtime. This medication helps to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm taking Pantocid DSR every morning on an empty stomach, but my chest starts burning whenever I eat something. Sometimes I even get severe pain in my chest and back because of gas, and I feel like I might vomit. Eno helps a bit, but it's not a long-term fix. What do you recommend I do?
You can start by making some diet changes like 1. Avoid oily and spicy foods. 2. Avoid foods that are known to cause the problem to you. 3. Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, have 5 smaller meals. 4. Drink one glass of water every hour or so even if you aren't thirsty. 5. Let there be at least 2 hours gap between dinner and sleep. 6. Walking for about 20 minutes everyday.
