I'm really worried about my friend. They're dealing with a lot of vomiting and loose motion. They've been given some medicine but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there any more effective medicine that you would suggest?

It sounds like your friend is dealing with a severe stomach issue. If the prescribed medicines aren't working, it's important for them to revisit their doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying infection or condition that requires a different approach. In some cases, probiotics or a more specific treatment might be needed.

My wife's recent USG showed a gallstone the biggest one is 6.7mm. She doesn't have any pain, but she's lost a lot of weight, down to 56 kg over the last 6 months. Does she need surgery, or will medicine be enough? Also, could the stone be causing her weight loss, and how can she regain the weight she's lost?
A 6.7 mm gallstone without pain rarely needs surgery; weight loss is unlikely from the stone—focus on nutrition and rule out other causes.
