I'm a bit confused about when I should take my next dose of Buscopan Plus for my tummy ache. Is it okay to have it every 4 hours, or should I wait until 6 p.m.? I just want to make sure I'm taking it correctly.

The recommended dosage interval for Buscopan Plus varies depending on the specific product and formulation, but generally, it's recommended to take one tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 3-4 tablets in 24 hours

I'm having this weird feeling of uneasiness in my chest, but it's only when I'm trying to sleep at night, during the day it's not there at all. When it happens, I usually just get up, drink some water, and I end up belching a lot, and then after a while, I can go back to sleep like normal. I've been keeping an eye on my SpO2 at home and its around 97-98 every time I check it. Also, I went to a general physician yesterday, May 18, and they said my SpO2 is good too. I don't have any other symptoms, especially those related to Covid. My doctor gave me antibiotics to be on the safer side along with some vitamins for three days. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into, like, should I get a CT scan of my lungs or anything like that given my situation?

At present CT is not required . Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for 2 months now and haven't taken any medicines until recently. For the past 15 days, I tried coconut oil and it helped heal about 90% of the fissure, but then it came back because of hard stools. For the last 5 days, I've been doing sitz baths three times a day for 20 minutes, taking Pilex tablets, and using Pilex ointment. I've also been eating high-fiber foods and drinking more water for a month. Will this treatment heal the fissure completely or is surgery the only option? How long should I wait to see if it gets better before considering the next step? I'm really worried about this.

It's understandable to be concerned about your anal fissure, especially after experiencing a recurrence despite initial improvement. While your current treatment, including sitz baths, Pilex, high-fiber diet, and increased water intake, is beneficial for managing symptoms and promoting healing, it may not be enough to completely resolve chronic fissures. It's advisable to continue these measures and monitor for any signs of improvement over the next 6-8 weeks. If the fissure doesn't show significant healing or you continue to experience pain and discomfort, consult with a doctor, who might recommend additional treatments, including botox injections or, in some cases, surgery.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
