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.

My dad is 70 and has gallstones plus bile duct stones seen on MRI and CT He also has jaundice with high bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase The report says his CBD is dilated to 20mm with two stones - one near the ampulla and another 17mm stone in the distal CBD Can he just get an ERCP to remove the bile duct stones or does his gallbladder need to come out too What determines whether gallbladder removal is necessary in cases like this

ERCP can often remove CBD stones; gallbladder removal may still be needed later to prevent recurrence and depends on age, symptoms, and health.

I've been having loose motions since early this morning and I've already had two bouts of watery stools. Can you suggest any medicine? I wonder if it's because I ate some tomato-based curry outside yesterday. I've just moved to Mumbai a couple of days ago.
