I'm concerned about whether ciprofloxacin is a reliable choice for treating intestinal infections. I've heard that it might have more side effects compared to other antibiotics. Is that true? How safe is ciprofloxacin to use?

View allI'm really concerned because I have to pass stool at least 6 times a day. It's not like I'm having loose motions or anything, but every time I feel stuffed, I get this intense urge to go. It's getting really frustrating and I just want it to stop. Ideally, going twice a day would feel a lot more normal. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on or how I could address it?
-It sounds really frustrating to have to go so often, especially when it's not loose stools. It could be helpful to try adjusting your diet to reduce bloating or constipation, and consider seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues. Manag

I'm dealing with food poisoning and it's causing a lot of stomach pain. I've also been throwing up a few times. I'm really unsure about what to do and I'm curious about any tablets that might help. Can you advise me on this?
For food poisoning with stomach pain and vomiting, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as oral rehydration solutions (ORS) like Electral or coconut water; consider taking anti-emetic medications like Ondansetron or Metoclopramide to control vomiting, and antacids like Ranitidine or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid

I've been a bit worried since I recently had some blood work done. My total bilirubin was 1.77, so I took Livopill for 10 days, and my repeated test showed total bilirubin at 1.62, with DB at 0.63 and IDB at 0.99. The other results were total protein 7.6, serum albumin 4.9, globulin 2.7, AG ratio 1.8, SGOT 24, SGPT 25, alkaline phosphatase 92, GGTP 12, and my HBsAg was 0.24. Now, I've been told to take Ensules Plus for a month, but I feel this discomfort or pain just below my right rib. Should I be thinking about taking any other medication or is the pain something to worry about? Feeling a bit unsure about all this.
Your liver function tests show mild bilirubin elevation and normal liver enzymes, and the HbsAg result suggests you're not infected with hepatitis B; considering your symptoms and test results, consult your doctor about adding a liver protective supplement like silymarin or ursodeoxycholic acid to Ensules Plus, and for the rib pain, consider adding an antacid or acid reducer like omeprazole or ranitidine to alleviate discomfort, but only under medical guidance.
