I'm really worried about my mom. She had typhoid a week ago and was on Levolab 500 mg for those 7 days. Her fever went away after just 3 days, which is good, but she's still feeling super weak. And now she's been having trouble going to the bathroom, like she hasnt had a bowel movement in 3 days, though her urine seems normal. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect after typhoid? What can we do to help with the bowel issues?

Vertigo and Dizziness: Addressing Long-Term Symptoms and Recent Exacerbation_
I understand your concern for the individual's prolonged struggle with vertigo and dizziness. Given the current treatment regimen and recent exacerbation, here are some suggestions:
Possible Causes of Exacerbation:
- Inadequate medication dosage: The current dosage of Stugeron and Dytor might not be sufficient to control symptoms.
- Medication tolerance: Long-term use of Stugeron might lead to tolerance, reducing its effectiveness.
- Underlying condition progression: The underlying condition causing vertigo and dizziness might have progressed, requiring adjustments to the treatment plan.
Recommendations:
- Consult a specialist: Schedule an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, a neurologist, or a vestibular specialist to reassess the condition and adjust the treatment plan.
- Medication adjustments: The specialist might recommend adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications, such as betahistine or vestibular suppressants.
- _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)*: A physical therapist specializing in VRT can help the individual develop exercises to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms.
- _Lifestyle modifications*: Encourage the individual to make lifestyle changes, such as:
- Avoiding triggers like caffeine, nicotine, or certain foods
- Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule
- Engaging in regular exercise, like yoga or tai chi, to improve balance and reduce stress
Monitor and Seek Immediate Medical Attention if:
- Sudden worsening of symptoms
- Severe vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
- Double vision or difficulty speaking
- Severe headache or confusion

View allI'm taking Pantocid DSR every morning on an empty stomach, but my chest starts burning whenever I eat something. Sometimes I even get severe pain in my chest and back because of gas, and I feel like I might vomit. Eno helps a bit, but it's not a long-term fix. What do you recommend I do?
You can start by making some diet changes like 1. Avoid oily and spicy foods. 2. Avoid foods that are known to cause the problem to you. 3. Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, have 5 smaller meals. 4. Drink one glass of water every hour or so even if you aren't thirsty. 5. Let there be at least 2 hours gap between dinner and sleep. 6. Walking for about 20 minutes everyday.

Was dealing with COVID back in April and felt better by May. Havent had any issues till now, but for the past 45 days, my stomach's been feeling really tight like Im constipated. Not much gas is coming out, even with rantac 150mg. There's also this chest tightness and occasional pain, especially on the left side and in the middle bone of my chest. Is it just gas, or could it be something else? I'm kinda worried.
