I'm really worried about my dad because he's been having regular gastric issues and body pains. I've noticed he usually takes Raja khaini tobacco right after meals, especially since he has breakfast around 10:30 a.m. We've consulted several doctors but haven't found a solution yet. What should we do next?

Possible Underlying Causes:

  1. Allergies: Allegra M suggests allergy-related cough.
  2. Respiratory issues: Zerodol SP and Hetrazan indicate potential respiratory problems.
  3. Infection: Azithromycin is an antibiotic, suggesting a possible infection.

Excessive Sweating:

  1. Infection or inflammation: Could be related to the underlying cause of your cough.
  2. Anxiety or stress: Stress can exacerbate sweating and cough.

Next Steps:

  1. Reconsult your doctor: Discuss the ineffectiveness of current medication and excessive sweating.
  2. Consider further testing: Your doctor may recommend tests like chest X-rays, spirometry, or allergy tests.
  3. Alternative treatments: Your doctor may prescribe alternative medications or recommend lifestyle changes.

Lifestyle Changes:

  1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to thin out mucus.
  2. Use a humidifier: Add moisture to the air to soothe your throat.

My mom is 65 with multiple 9mm gallstones but her appetite is fine. She has occasional gas and mild pain, nothing severe. The doctor recommended surgery but mentioned it's high risk because of her severe sleep apnea. Can we just continue Udiliv for 2 years to dissolve the stones or is surgery really necessary?

Surgery is generally recommended for gallstones if the patient has symptoms. However, given your mom’s sleep apnea, non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid (Udiliv) may help in the short term, though the stones are unlikely to fully dissolve. Consider discussing surgery timing based on her condition.

But for the last 5 or 6 years, I've noticed blood in my stool occasionally which goes away after a few days. This time something else seems to be happeninglike some kind of flesh is coming out and I have no idea what that could be. Can you help me understand what's going on?
