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?

At this stage, its likely that you dont need an endoscopy. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing some itching and a sensation of something pinching in my anus, but I can't see anything there. It mostly happens when I'm sitting or if I'm walking quickly. What could be causing this?

Your symptoms suggest anal itching (pruritus ani) or rectal pain, possibly due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or levator ani syndrome, exacerbated by pressure from sitting or walking; consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I had jaundice 3 months ago but recovered 2 months back. Now I'm having upper stomach pain again, tests showed bilirubin at 3.4 and an ultrasound found 6mm gallstones. The doctor recommended gallbladder surgery - is there any way to treat this without surgery? Can these stones dissolve on their own?

please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital
