I was diagnosed with an 11mm gall bladder stone last year and currently can't get surgery because of covid. Are there any medicines that can help dissolve the stone or at least manage the pain and vomiting until I can get the operation

Gallstones can sometimes be managed with ursodeoxycholic acid; however, surgery is the definitive treatment once symptoms appear.

View allI'm wondering why my stool is always loose in the morning. Each day I drink a lot of water right after I wake up, and then have a cup of tea which really makes me want to go to the toilet. I usually drink water before sitting on the toilet to pass stool. Could all this be the reason for my loose stools? What can I do to have a more normal, smooth, and long stool thats easier to pass?
Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He often struggles with gas and acidity, and it usually takes him a couple of days to feel better. What's really puzzling is that when he has gas, he feels pain behind his ear. I'm having a hard time figuring out what might be causing this gas problem, and I'm wondering if you could help us understand what's going on.

I'm dealing with piles and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Could you guide me on the best medicine to take for this?
You can use Anovate cream for local application to reduce pain and inflammation. Apply a small amount of cream on the affected area twice daily after cleaning the area. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and consume a high-fiber diet to help with your condition.
