I was cooking and noticed some tiny plastic bits in the food, which I removed right away. Now I'm a bit worriedwhat if I swallowed some by accident? Could something like that be harmful, even if it's a really tiny amount?

It's natural to worry, but if the plastic bits were very small and you removed most of them, there's likely no need for concern. Tiny, negligible amounts of plastic typically pass through the digestive system without causing harm. If you feel any discomfort or symptoms, consult a doctor for reassurance.

I drank some spoiled sweet lassi a few days ago, and I've had diarrhea every day since. Now, it's also starting to really hurt when I go to the bathroom and I'm worried about what's going on. What should I do?

I have a stone in my gallbladder and the doctor said it might be affecting my pancreas too. What's the best way to remove it should I try medicines or go for surgery? If medicines work, can you suggest some tablet names? And if surgery is better, could you recommend a good hospital near Vellore or Chennai?
