Question 1

I've been having this bad breath issue for a few months now, and I've noticed these bumps at the back of my tongue. Also, my nasal passages seem to take turns being blocked every couple of hours, like one side lets me breathe and then it switches. On top of that, I burp really loudly every hour. I know I have a thyroid problem, low Vitamin D, low calcium, fatty liver, and dry mouth. Could all these things be connected somehow? Should I be worried about these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Upper respiratory tract infections
Sinusitis
Allergies
Head injuries
Neurological disorders

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist

Nasal endoscopy
Imaging tests (CTMRI scans)
Smell tests (olfactometry)

If surgery is necessary, could you recommend a good doctor in Hyderabad? If its not urgent, what can he do to manage or prevent any complications?

Your husband's gallstone size of 6.5mm is considered relatively small, and surgery might not be immediately necessary. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

Question 3

I've been having some concerns lately about my digestion. Over the past few days, I've noticed undigested food in my stoolthings like brown rice, pineapples, and papayas. Along with that, I've been dealing with mild abdominal cramps and somewhat solid stools. It's frustrating because I often feel the urge to go, but then nothing really happens. Sometimes, I even see mucus and fat in there too. Could this be IBS? I'm also wondering if it's necessary to get a colonoscopy or endoscopy at my ageI'm 28 and physically active. There's no blood in my stool, but I'm worried about these other symptoms. What do you think?
