I'm dealing with some chest discomfort, and Ive been burping and farting a lot. Plus, I'm occasionally getting these sharp pains. Could this be something serious, or is it just gas causing these symptoms?

I've been dealing with this feeling for about 8 months now. It's like there's mucus stuck in my throat, almost like nasal mucus. A while back, about 6 months ago, I had a GI infection from H. pylori but got treatment and I'm not dealing with any infection anymore. However, I still frequently get gastrointestinal disturbances. The mucus stuck feeling is really bothering me. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get rid of it?

use mucolytics like montlucast and consult your doctor foe further treatment

I've had fistula surgery a week ago and was told to take Smuth syrup, 15ml dosage, but it led to diarrhea. I cut back to 10ml, which helped with the stool softness, but I'm still going to the bathroom twice a day. Is it okay if I drop it down to 5ml? What should I do?

You can try reducing the dose of Smuth syrup to 5ml, but consult your surgeon or doctor first, as they may recommend adjusting the dose based on your individual needs and bowel movements, and also ensure you're drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods to support a smooth recovery from fistula surgery.
