I accidentally swallowed a small piece of plastic from an oregano sachet while I was eating pizza a couple of days ago. I'm not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, and my bowel movements seem normal. But I've been experiencing some acidity, like burps, a feeling of fullness in my throat after eating, and a bit of soreness. Should I consider getting an endoscopy, or is this something that might resolve on its own?

I've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.

Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing

I've been having this burning sensation around my rectum for a few days now, and I'm a bit worried. My meals have been pretty spicy lately, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. I've been drinking plenty of water, so I'm not sure what else could be causing it. Do you have any advice on how I can make this go away?
