I just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

Had anal fissure surgery 3 months ago but noticed some bleeding during bowel movements today. Could going to the gym be causing this or is it something else I should worry about
Fistulectomy is advised,also surgery opinion is advised.

I'm dealing with this problem where every time I have a bowel movement, it always feels like I'm not done. It's like, I eat or drink something, and then I immediately feel like I have to go to the bathroom again. The stools are really mushy, sometimes thin, and not in that regular bulk shape. Plus, they come with this burning sensation when passing through. I've tried taking ofloxacin oridazole tablets, and that seems to stop these frequent bathroom trips for a bit. Also, I get cramps under my left rib cage, kind of where my stomach is, and I tend to burp after eating or even just drinking water. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my body?
After a rat bite, it's essential to complete the full post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimen. Typically, the regimen includes: 1. Immediate washing of the wound 2. TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection 3. Anti-rabies vaccination series (usually 2-3 doses, depending on the vaccine type) Consult your doctor or the healthcare provider who administered the initial injections. They will assess the situation and advise on the need for additional anti-rabies injections.
