I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and I'm feeling pretty confused about how to find the right treatment. Is IBS something that can actually be treated or am I likely to struggle with this long-term? I'm open to trying out different treatments, whether it's allopathic, homeopathic, or Ayurveda, but I just don't know where to start. Any advice on what might be the best route to take?

I've been taking azithral for my fever for the past couple of days, but now I'm having diarrhea and noticed some bloody mucus in my stool. Should I stop the antibiotics?

_No Bacterial Growth in Urine Culture, but Presence of White Tissue-like Threads_ Given the results of your urine culture and sensitivity test, the presence of small white tissue-like threads in your urine can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations: _Possible Causes:_ 1. _Mucus threads_: Mucus is a normal component of urine, and it can appear as white, thread-like structures. 2. _Urethral discharge_: A small amount of discharge from the urethra can enter the urine, appearing as white threads. 3. _Vaginal discharge (in females)_*: Vaginal discharge can contaminate the urine sample, causing the appearance of white threads. 4. _Fungal infections_: Fungal infections, such as candidiasis, can cause white, thread-like structures in the urine. 5. _Other medical conditions_: Certain medical conditions, like kidney stones or bladder cancer, can also cause abnormal urine appearances. _Recommendations:_ 1. _Consult a urologist or primary care physician_*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. _Physical examination and medical history_*: The doctor will perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and may order additional tests, such as: - Urine microscopy to examine the urine sample more closely - Urine cytology to check for abnormal cells - Imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) to evaluate the urinary tract 3. _Treatment_: Based on the underlying cause, treatment may involve: - Antibiotics or antifungals for infections - Medications to manage symptoms - Dietary changes or lifestyle modifications _Important Notes:_ 1. _Don't ignore symptoms_*: If you notice persistent or severe symptoms, seek medical attention. 2. _Proper urine sample collection_*: Ensure you follow proper urine sample collection techniques to avoid contamination.
