I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.

Montair LC and Allegra-M are both antihistamines used to treat allergies, but they have some differences. Key differences:*
- Levocetirizine (in Montair LC) is more sedating than Fexofenadine (in Allegra-M).
- Montair LC is often prescribed for asthma, while Allegra-M is primarily for allergies.
- Allegra-M has a faster onset of action (1-2 hours) compared to Montair LC (2-4 hours).

View allI'm dealing with some really intense stomach pain that's been going on for about a month now. It hurts a lot when I feel hungry and especially when I need to go to the loo. Even if I eat just a little, my stomach feels really full. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.

Can I drink water right after eating a banana, or should I wait a bit? I'm wondering if doing this could cause any digestive issues.
There is no such indication you have water no problem
