Question

I'm dealing with diarrhea since this morning and already took a Norflox tablet. For food, I'm sticking to bananas and boiled rice, and I'm hydrating with ORS. Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

Swallowing a bone can be uncomfortable. _Possible scenarios:_ 1. _Bone stuck in throat_: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating. 2. _Bone in esophagus or stomach_: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain. _What to do:_ 1. _Stay calm_: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking. 2. _Drink water_: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system. 3. _Eat soft foods_: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas. 4. _Avoid solid foods_: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus. _When to seek medical attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing. 2. _Vomiting blood_: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool. 3. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. 4. _No improvement_: If your symptoms persist or worsen over time. If you're unsure or concerned, consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.
