View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's dealing with an anal fissure and he's been feeling extremely fatigued lately. It's so bad that he can't even walk on his own. Plus, he's running a fever, which just adds to his discomfort. What should we do to help him manage all these issues, especially the fatigue? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've noticed that for the past few months, my stool has been really dark, like black or brown, and kind of sticky. There's no pain or anything, but it just doesn't seem normal to me. Should I be concerned and what might be causing it?
Dark black or brown sticky stool can be a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take **Pantoprazole** to reduce stomach acid and **Sucralfate** to help protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. These medications can help in case there is any ulceration or irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, it is important to follow up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this issue where after I eat, it feels like food gets stuck in my throat or the back of my tongue. Sometimes, it even feels like it's stuck near my palate, and it gets really uncomfortable after every meal. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's starting to worry me. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on here or what I should do about it?
This sensation could be due to a condition called dysphagia, which can be caused by various factors such as esophageal strictures, muscle disorders, or nerve damage. I recommend you try taking smaller bites, chewing your food thoroughly, and eating slowly to see if it helps. Additionally, you can try using a prescription medication like Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
