I accidentally swallowed a housefly the other day and my friend told me that it could lay eggs inside my body. I'm really worried about this. Is there a chance that something bad could happen? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned or not?

Accidentally swallowing a housefly is unlikely to cause any harm. The acids in your stomach will most likely break down the fly. There is no need to worry about the fly laying eggs in your body. Just drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please consult a doctor.

View allI've been dealing with ongoing diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. It's strange because I'm not getting dehydrated or feeling tired, but when the abdominal pain hits, I have to rush to the restroom. I've noticed that sometimes the stools are loose, but not always; they're mostly normal. I've tried taking Lomofen tablets, but they don't seem to make a difference. Could you help me understand what's going on?

In my butt hole, I'm feeling a burning sensation and some pain. It also seems like it's getting smaller because I have to really push when I poop. Can you suggest something? I can't tolerate this.
It sounds like you may be experiencing anal fissures or possibly a hemorrhoidal condition. I recommend consulting a doctor who can assess your symptoms and suggest treatments such as topical creams or stool softeners to help ease the discomfort. In the meantime, try to avoid straining and keep the area clean and moisturized.

I'm trying to figure out what's better for my abdominal cramps. My uncle told me about Normaxin, but I've been taking Buscopan for a while now. I'm a 40-year-old guy and I'm confused about which one would be more effective for me. Could you help me decide which is the better option?
Both Normaxin (Dicyclomine + Simethicone) and Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide) are antispasmodics used to relieve abdominal cramps; however, Buscopan is generally considered a better choice for abdominal cramps due to its targeted action on smooth muscle relaxation, whereas Normaxin also contains Simethicone, which is primarily used for gas and bloating relief;
