I'm dealing with this problem where every time I have a bowel movement, it always feels like I'm not done. It's like, I eat or drink something, and then I immediately feel like I have to go to the bathroom again. The stools are really mushy, sometimes thin, and not in that regular bulk shape. Plus, they come with this burning sensation when passing through. I've tried taking ofloxacin oridazole tablets, and that seems to stop these frequent bathroom trips for a bit. Also, I get cramps under my left rib cage, kind of where my stomach is, and I tend to burp after eating or even just drinking water. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my body?

After a rat bite, it's essential to complete the full post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimen.
Typically, the regimen includes:
- Immediate washing of the wound
- TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection
- Anti-rabies vaccination series (usually 2-3 doses, depending on the vaccine type)
Consult your doctor or the healthcare provider who administered the initial injections.
They will assess the situation and advise on the need for additional anti-rabies injections.

View allmy doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now
It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.
Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.

I'm dealing with erosive gastritis and a lot of acidity, and my doctor suggested I try drinking limestone edible. They told me to dissolve 1mg of chuna in a liter of water, wait for it to settle, and then drink the clear water throughout the day. I'm curious about what benefits this might have. Are there any contradictions I should be aware of? Could this lead to stone formation? And how long should I be doing this for?
Chuna (edible limestone) helps neutralize stomach acid and can relieve acidity and gastritis symptoms by balancing pH levels. However, it should be taken cautiously, as excessive use can potentially affect kidney function and lead to stone formation in susceptible individuals. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding duration, typically for a few days to weeks, but only as prescribed. Always stay hydrated and monitor any changes.
