I'm just getting over typhoid fever and I'm wondering about when it might be okay to have a beer again. How long should I wait after recovering before it's safe to drink alcohol?

It is advisable to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from typhoid fever before consuming alcohol. This is to ensure that your body has fully recovered and to avoid any potential strain on your liver.

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I was recently advised to take deworming tablets because I had a stomach infection a few days ago. I'm curious about which deworming tablet is recommended for adults in India. Is there just one option available, or are there other alternatives to consider? I'm also wondering if taking the tablet is a permanent solution, or if there's a chance the issue could come back.

Tab Albendazole is broad spectrum and widely used one, you can take this tablet

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat near my collarbone for the past couple of days, and I've been dealing with some mild gastric issues too. Could these be connected somehow? Should I be worried, or is there anything I can try at home to feel better?

I'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
