While many anal fissures heal on their own with conservative treatment, chronic fissures may require medication or even surgery. Avoiding spicy foods, nuts, and processed foods can help reduce inflammation and aid in healing.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He often struggles with gas and acidity, and it usually takes him a couple of days to feel better. What's really puzzling is that when he has gas, he feels pain behind his ear. I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be causing this gas problem, and I'm wondering if you could help us understand what's going on.

Good day, I've been having trouble sleeping at night for almost 2 months now, and it's really starting to worry me. My throat always feels dry even though I drink water all the time. I also experience some chest pain and burping, sometimes even heartburn. I've noticed bumps on the back of my tongue and a white patch in the center too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm dealing with food poisoning and it's causing a lot of stomach pain. I've also been throwing up a few times. I'm really unsure about what to do and I'm curious about any tablets that might help. Can you advise me on this?

For food poisoning with stomach pain and vomiting, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as oral rehydration solutions (ORS) like Electral or coconut water; consider taking anti-emetic medications like Ondansetron or Metoclopramide to control vomiting, and antacids like Ranitidine or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid
