I'm dealing with pinworms in my stomach again and, from what I remember, I used to take ZENTEL for this when I was a kid. I'm really unsure about how to proceed. Could you guide me on what I should do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For pinworms, the typical adult dose of Zentel (Albendazole) is 400mg, taken as a single dose, and repeated in 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination of the parasites

View allI've been experiencing a burning sensation in my food pipe for a few days now. My doctor advised me to get an endoscopy, and it turns out I have an H. pylori infection and some erosions. The doctor prescribed Pantocid HP for 14 days, and I'm currently on the 7th day. I'm still having that burning feeling in my food pipe and stomach. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for patients to feel relief. Also, should I be taking the Pantocid HP before or after meals?
The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.

I'm dealing with jaundice right now, and I've been feeling the urge to masturbate more often. I'm worried and curious if it's okay to masturbate while having jaundice. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of if I continue?
It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider about specific activities, including sexual activity or masturbation, when you have a liver condition like jaundice. Your doctor can give you tailored advice based on the severity of your condition and overall health.
