Question

I'm dealing with some loose motions right now, and I'm really worried because I have a competition tomorrow. Is there any way to fix this in just one day?

Possible Diagnosis*

  1. Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone): A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils.
  2. Mucous Cyst: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat.
  3. Follicular Hyperplasia: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps.

Treatment Advice

  1. Gargling with Salt Water: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris.
  2. Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue.
  3. Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

Question

I've been dealing with stomach worms for about 6 years now. I've seen lots of doctors and tried different medications, but nothing seems to work because the issue is still there. I also have this persistent itching around my anus, and it's affecting my health. I'm feeling really physically weak because of it. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what else can I do to finally get rid of it?
