Question

I had a Nissan fundoplication 360 wrap done but the day after surgery the nurse gave me a large combiflam tablet which I swallowed whole without crushing it. Ever since then I'm experiencing reflux just like before the surgery - could that big pill have loosened my GE junction sphincter again?

Take all prescribed medicines as directed: Until you can swallow easily, take liquid medicines. If you are given pills, crush them and swallow them with liquids. But some pills can't or shouldn't be crushed.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I took NorfloxTZ for my loose motions for 5 days, and on the 5th day, the problem started again. I stopped taking Norflox, but I'm still having loose stools, like two or three times a day. Do you think it's okay to try Metronidazole for this, or is there something else I should do?

Question

I'm trying to figure out the best timing for my dad's medication. He's been taking tablets like AB Phylline after meals and Montek BL before eating for his cold, but lately, he's been dealing with stomach bloating and some pain. Could these issues be side effects from the meds? Just want to make sure we're doing this right.

Question

I'm really struggling hereI've had diarrhea for the last 3 months and my doctor said it might be IBS. I'm currently taking ibset, but before this, I tried colospa x and eldicet. The problem is, every time I stop the meds, the diarrhea comes back, and sometimes it happens like 3 to 4 times a day with mucus. I'm worried and not sure what I should be doing differently. Any advice on how to manage this?
