I'm really curious about finding the best probiotic available in India since my digestion has been really sluggish lately. I've heard that probiotics can help improve digestion, so Id love to know which brands are recommended and effective. Can you suggest a good one?

For sluggish digestion, VSL#3, Probiotic Sachets by Darolac, or Eubiotics are highly recommended probiotics available in India. These contain multiple strains of beneficial bacteria to support gut health. Always consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have any medical conditions.

I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?

I've been having a really rough time with a high fever, vomiting, loose stools, terrible stomach ache, and I'm finding it hard to breathe. It's been going on for three days now. Should I be worried or see someone about this?

You can take a tab. pantakind once or twice a day half an hour before food for 3 days. Tab. Sporolac-ds thrice a day after food for 5 days. Drink plenty of fluids. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?
