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*
- Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone): A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils.
- Mucous Cyst: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat.
- Follicular Hyperplasia: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps.
Treatment Advice
- 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.
- Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue.
- Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

View allMy mom recently had a checkup, and it turns out she has a few gallbladder stones, with the largest being 57 mm. I heard about bile acid therapy and was wondering if that's a good way to deal with the stones without surgery since she doesn't have any pain or symptoms right now. Could you suggest the best doctor or treatment approach for this situation?
Bile acid therapy can be used to dissolve gallstones, particularly in patients who are not experiencing any symptoms. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Ursodiol. It is important to note that the effectiveness of this treatment may vary from person to person, and close monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary. It is advisable to consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatologist for further evaluation and management of the gallbladder stones. They will be able to assess the specific situation and provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment plan for your mother.

I'm concerned about my stage 2 non-alcoholic fatty liver. I've been reading about Liv 52 tablets by Himalaya and was wondering if they're effective for this condition. Also, how many should I be taking each day, and is it better to have them on an empty stomach or after meals?
Liv 52 might help support liver health, but it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for Stage 2 NAFLD. Focus on lifestyle changes, and consult your doctor to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. If you decide to take Liv 52, follow the recommended dosage of 2 tablets twice daily after meals, but only after getting your doctor's approval

I've been having this really annoying itching around my anus, especially at night and in the evening. It almost feels like something's crawling around in there. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been trying to cut back on sweets, hoping it might help. Do you know what could be causing this, and is there any medicine I should try? If you can suggest something, could you also let me know how and when to take it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a single dose at night before bedtime. This medication helps to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
