I started taking Metrogyl 400 for a bad stomach yesterday, took it twice, and now I'm feeling better. Do I still need to keep taking it, or is it okay to stop? Will it cause any issues if I don't continue? I'm just wondering if its important to finish the whole course even if I'm feeling fine now.

-It's important to complete the full course of Metrogyl to ensure the infection is fully treated. Even if you're feeling better, stopping early can lead to a relapse or resistance. If you're unsure, it's best to consult your doctor for advice.

View allI'm dealing with this burning and piercing feeling from my stomach up to my throat, and it's really uncomfortable. I tried taking mcaine gel and buscogast, but I'm still not feeling any better. What else can I do to get some relief?

I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's 56 and has diabetes. Last year, while she was swallowing her prescribed pills, one got stuck in her food pipe. This went unnoticed until it happened a second time, so we thought it might be a stroke. We took her to an ENT specialist and all tests, like the CT scan, came back normal. But now it has happened twice again, first with pills and then with food. This time the doctor has suggested an endoscopy. We haven't done it yet. Could you help me understand what might be going on with her?
Usually in adults foreign body inside windpipe or lower down are expelled by powerful cough reflex. It's unlikely that it will stay in airway without any symptoms. Probably you have injured your upper airway while coughing. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days

I'm kind of worried because I think I swallowed a small chicken bone while eating yesterday. It doesn't hurt right now, but I'm not sure what to do. I've tried gargling and even eating a banana to see if it helps, but nothing's really working. Should I be doing something else, or is this a wait-it-out kind of thing? How serious could this be if it doesn't feel painful?
In this case, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent any complications. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods like yogurt or pudding to see if it helps dislodge the bone. However, if the bone is still stuck, do not delay in seeking medical help. I recommend you to go to the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
