Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm dealing with mild proctitis and my doctor suggested I take Ornicef tablets. However, I've had a reaction to the ornidazole in itmy mouth's lining has swollen and I've taken cetrizine but now my eyes have turned red too. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Make a note of the allergic trigger and ensure to add this information to your medical records for future consults. According to your symptoms, the allergic response does not seem to be severe, however, if the swelling and inflammation seem to be worsening, do not delay in visiting a nearby physician. You may require intravenous anthistamines or steroid therapy.

I'm a mom to a 23-day-old baby and was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during my 8th month of pregnancy. Today I'm feeling pain in my upper abdomen again. The stone size is 9mm. Is it safe for me to take drotin tablets right now? I can't consider surgery at this stage with such a small baby

Drotin is generally safe post-pregnancy but consult your OB; manage diet and hydration, and avoid surgery if pain is mild.
