I'm having this issue where after I eat, it feels like food gets stuck in my throat or the back of my tongue. Sometimes, it even feels like it's stuck near my palate, and it gets really uncomfortable after every meal. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's starting to worry me. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on here or what I should do about it?

This sensation could be due to a condition called dysphagia, which can be caused by various factors such as esophageal strictures, muscle disorders, or nerve damage. I recommend you try taking smaller bites, chewing your food thoroughly, and eating slowly to see if it helps. Additionally, you can try using a prescription medication like Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain when I pass stool and even when I'm sitting. It feels like it might be related to piles or possibly a fissure. On top of that, I have a lot of issues with gas. Could all these symptoms be connected, and what should I do to feel better?

It must be A Fissure. You can try conservative treatment for some time. If not relieved, surgery will be required. See that you do not have constipation. Stools should be soft. You can take Cremaffin Pink at night after dinner for that. Before passing stools & after that apply Anovate ointment around the fissure.

I'm experiencing a bit of wetness and irritation around my anus that goes away when I clean it. Sometimes there's also a little tickling sensation that lasts just a few seconds. It only happens once a day, and I'm fine the rest of the time. My doctor suggested taking Bendex followed by Metrogyl, three times a day for five days, with a second Bendex tablet after a week. Is it okay to follow this advice?

Can we drink tea if our SGPT and SGOT levels are slightly high, like 60 out of 45 and 58 out of 35? Would that be okay or should we avoid it?

you can't take.
