I had a tonsillectomy about a month back, and ever since, I've been dealing with constant acid reflux. There's this acidic liquid that seems to keep coming up into my mouth, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. Could this be related to having my tonsils removed? What should I do about it?

It is possible that your acid reflux symptoms are related to your recent tonsillectomy. The condition is known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and can occur after throat surgeries like tonsillectomy. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for relief. It is important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a stone at the neck of my gallbladder that's causing a lot of swelling. The doctor mentioned that an operation can't be done right now because of this swelling. I'm in a lot of pain and not sure what options I have. Is there anything else that can be done to help with the pain or reduce the swelling?

-It sounds really uncomfortable, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this. For now, you can try managing the pain with medications prescribed by your doctor, stay on a low-fat diet to reduce strain on your gallbladder, and stay hydrated. Follow up regularly

I'm having trouble with this weird jerking feeling in my stomach when I'm about to sleep, and it really keeps me awake. It's strange because it gets worse even with a little noise. When I wake up in the morning, I can't lie down without my mind racing and that seems to make my stomach uncomfortable, though there's no actual pain. I've had an endoscopy and there's no sign of acid reflux. Any ideas on what could be going on with me?

so very thing normal

I've been having this weird pulling sensation in my lower right abdomen and a dull ache just below my right breast, but it doesn't happen all the time. I haven't noticed any problems with my diet or bowel movements. About a month ago, I took some medicine for mild gastritis after talking to my doctor. Should I be concerned about these sensations, or could they be related to the gastritis or something else?

The pulling sensation in the lower right abdomen could be related to muscle strain or even issues with the appendix. The dull ache below the right breast could be due to musculoskeletal pain or even related to gastritis. Considering your history of mild gastritis, it would be advisable to continue with medications that help with gastritis such as Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast
