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:
- Bone stuck in throat: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating.
- Bone in esophagus or stomach: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain.
What to do:
- Stay calm: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking.
- Drink water: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system.
- Eat soft foods: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas.
- Avoid solid foods: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus.
When to seek medical attention:
- Severe pain: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing.
- Vomiting blood: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool.
- Difficulty breathing: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
- 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.

View allI'm dealing with functional bowel disease, and my stool consistency is all over the place. Sometimes it's semisolid, and other times it's suddenly hard. I'm wondering if taking Bilwadi lehyam might help improve this? I also have a tendency to get anal fissures, so could it make my stool too hard?

I'm getting this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat. It's odd because I haven't eaten anything that could actually get stuck. Could this be related to GERD or might it be something different? Any ideas on what's going on?
It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which can sometimes cause a feeling of something stuck in the throat. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums (calcium carbonate) or Maalox (aluminum hydroxidemagnesium hydroxide) to help reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can try using H2 blockers such as Zantac (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec (omeprazole) to further reduce acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation. A week ago, I had a throat infection and was on medication for it, but then I started having stomach upset and loose motions. I decided to stop the medication, and I tried arrowroot powder to help. It seemed to work, but now, for the past three days, I've had stomach pain on both sides. I dont usually have issues with gastric acidity, but the pain gets worse when I walk, go upstairs, or take a deep breath. What should I do about this?
If the pain is severe, constant, or associated with symptoms like vomiting, fever, bloody stools, or significant tenderness, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, such as an intestinal infection or inflammation.
