Question 1

I've been noticing for a while now that whenever I eat, everything tastes way too spicy, and it makes me lose interest after just a few bites. It's like everyone else finds it normal, but for me, it feels like there's too much spice in the food. This has been a thing for the past few years. Also, sometimes when I'm brushing, my gums bleed a bit. Could these things be connected somehow, or is it something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can cause a sensation of spiciness or burning in the throat or chest after eating spicy foods. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to help with the symptoms. Additionally, for the bleeding gums, you may benefit from using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a gentle toothpaste, as well as incorporating a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help reduce inflammation and bleeding. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dentist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm really concerned and looking for some advice. I started taking Nuroday for my low vitamin B12 levels back in November, but by December, I had a stomach infection with acute diarrhea. Then it happened again in February, and now I've developed irritable bowel syndrome. Every time I take Nuroday, my symptoms seem to get worse and I end up going to the bathroom up to 67 times a day. Could this be a side effect of the Nuroday?

Accepted Answer

take treatment

Question 3

I'm really struggling with this awful stomach pain and constant bloating. I was taking Digene and Rablet, and it worked for a bit, but then it just stopped being effective. Now I'm on Rablet IT and Asthymin, but there's still no relief. What's weird is that when I'm asleep, I don't have gas issues, but as soon as I wake up, it all starts again, and my whole stomach hurts. Drinking cold milk seems to help temporarily, but nothing else seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Accepted Answer

avoid spicy foods and maintain regular diet

I think I accidentally ate a worm when I had a mango. What should I do now? Is there a way to get them out of my system? And also, what possible complications might I face because of this? I'm really worried.
