I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having loose motions and took Norflox TZ about 4 hours ago, but it hasn't helped yet. She's planning to take another dose in 4 more hours. Is it okay for her to do that?

I'm really struggling with my stomach issuesgas, acidity, and constipation. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to work. All my tests like endoscopy and sonography come back normal, yet I never feel right. I maintain a simple diet and regularly do exercises like jogging, yoga, and pranayam. Despite this, the acidity rises to the upper side of my stomach, making it hard to breathe, and it keeps me up at night. It seriously makes me feel so hopeless sometimes. Can you please advise on what I should do? I dont have a lot of money to see more doctors, so Im desperate for help here.
Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter antacids like Ranitidine 150mg or Omeprazole 20mg to help with acidity and upper stomach discomfort. For constipation, you can try Duphalac Syrup as needed to improve bowel movements. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with high fiber content and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, you may consider lifestyle modifications such as avoiding spicy and oily foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.

I have several gallstones with the largest one around 5-6mm. Is there any medication that can help dissolve them? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?
Small gallstones may dissolve with ursodeoxycholic acid over time, but response varies. Regular monitoring is essential if avoiding surgery.
