I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?

GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars.
Their durability depends on factors such as:
- Size and location of the filling
- Oral hygiene and maintenance
- Chewing habits and forces
Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.

View allI've been diagnosed with two gallstones 15.4 mm and 13.6 mm in my gallbladder. Is there any way to get rid of them or dissolve them without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?
If your gallstones are small and you are unable to have surgery, you may be able to dissolve your cholesterol stones by taking ursodiol (Actigall, Urso), a naturally occurring bile acid, two to four times a day. Consult your doctor before taking any medications

Is drinking ENO powder for the last 30 days bad for my health? I've been using it daily and I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to keep taking. Could it have any long-term effects?
It is not advisable to use Eno powder for prolonged durations. It can cause bloating and erructations as well as disturbances in the normal gut flora due to change in intestinal PH.

I've been dealing with stomach bloating every morning and night, especially around meal times, and it's also giving me really bad backaches. It's so bad that I need extra back support just to sit. I've tried antacids and things like Pan40, Pudin Hara, and Digene, but they only help for a little while. This has been going on for over two years, and it's been getting worse in the last few months. What could be causing this, and what else can I try for more lasting relief?
Night falls or sex dreams can be distressing. To address this issue, consider the following steps: Consult a urologist or a sexologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Practice relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing, to reduce stress and anxiety. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep. Consider counseling or therapy to address any underlying psychological factors contributing to your symptoms.
