I'm dealing with a lot of farting and a bad smell in my poop ever since I started taking some prescribed tablets like Rifagut 400 and Pre Pro IBS. Can you advise me on how to stop this?

My mom's been having some pain in her upper abdomen for the past few days. It only seems to happen when we press around that area or if she does some unusual movements. I'm really worried about what's going on there. Could it be something serious or should we just wait it out?

Your mother may be experiencing some musculoskeletal pain in her upper abdomen. This type of pain can be due to muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend she take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.
