I'm really worried because I had this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest yesterday. My family doctor prescribed me some gastric tablets like Ocid and Topnac P. But now, whenever I burp, it feels like something is poking or pricking me on the left side of my chest. I'm wondering if this is just muscle tightness or if it could be something more serious like a heart issue or just gastric problems. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing gastric issues rather than heart-related problems or muscle tightness. The medications you have been prescribed are Ocid for gastric issues and Topnac P for pain relief. Ocid helps reduce stomach acid production and Topnac P is a pain reliever. The symptoms you are describing, such as sharp pinning pain in the left side of your chest and a pricking feeling when burping, are common symptoms of gastric problems. It is important to take the medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I had surgery about 7 months ago but still struggle with frequent urges to poop, especially when I leave the house. Is there any medication that can help reduce my bowel movements to just once or twice a day?

I've just gotten over typhoid fever, but I'm really struggling because my appetite hasn't come back at all. I'm kind of worried and not sure what steps I should take to get my hunger back. I'm only able to handle a liquid diet right now. Any advice on what I could do or how long it might take to start feeling hungry again?
give it time: Recovery from typhoid fever can take a few weeks, and regaining appetite may take a bit longer. Start slow: Gradually increase the complexity and quantity of your diet as your body adjusts. Stay hydrated and focus on easily digestible foods for the time being.
