Can a chronic anal fissure heal on its own or with medication or is surgery always necessary What foods should I avoid to help it heal faster
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been recovering from COVID, and it's been over 35 days since I got my first positive test. Lately, I've been experiencing this dull chest pain that comes and goes on its own. There's also this burning pain mostly on the left side of my chest. I've been taking treatment for GERD for the last 10 days with pantop d 40mg once a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you offer some guidance on what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent chest pain and symptoms of GERD despite taking Pantop D 40mg once a day. In this case, you can try adding an antacid like **Ranitidine 150mg** twice a day before meals to help with the burning chest pain. Additionally, you can try **Sucralfate** suspension 1-2 teaspoons four times a day to help coat and protect the lining of your stomach. Make sure to continue following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
