I'm really worried about this burning sensation I keep getting in my stomach every time I eat something. It's really uncomfortable and makes me feel uneasy. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned there's some swelling in my intestine. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

View allI'm using 10ml of this syrup at night for my fissure, as my doctor suggested for two weeks. It's been 8 days now and I feel like it's getting better. Once I hit the two-week mark, can I stop taking it all of a sudden, or do I need to cut down slowly over a few days? I'm also curious if using it for two weeks is too long. What do you recommend?

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

Yesterday, I had this really scary moment where my food got stuck, and I started coughing. It got so bad that I ended up throwing up, and during that, it felt like my whole body was shaking. After that, I started feeling this pain in my shoulder, neck, and arms, and there's also this burning and sharp pain in my chest. And now, every time I sneeze or cough, there's this sharp pain on the left side of my chest. I'm kind of worriedcan you tell me what's going on and if there's any medicine or something I should be taking?
