Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been taking dulcoflex tablets every night, and now it feels like I'm reliant on them. It all started back when I was 18 and dealing with constipation issues. I was also over 100 kg, but then I managed to get down to 75 and have kept it there. I just don't want this to turn into a lifelong dependency. How do I break this habit, and what should I be doing instead for the constipation? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Addiction to any drugchemical can cause the body to develop a physiological dependancy on it. This means that normal bowel movements will become impaired and this can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and dystonia of intestinal musculature. Seek professional help if you are unable to stop the habit on your own.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some stomach issues and was wondering what exactly doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules do. Could they help with an infection in my stomach? I'm just trying to understand how these work together.

Immediate Care*

1. *Monitor temperature*: Keep track of your child's fever.
2. *Fluids*: Offer plenty of fluids, like breast milk, formula, or an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte).
3. *Pain relief*: For headache and fever, consult your pediatrician about administering acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) in the correct dosage.

*When to Seek Medical Attention*

1. *Fever*: If the fever exceeds 102F or lasts more than 2 days.
2. *Headache*: If the headache worsens, is severe, or accompanied by vomiting, confusion, or lethargy.
3. *Other symptoms*: If your child experiences difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or shows signs of dehydration (e.g., fewer wet diapers, dry mouth).

Question 3

The doctor ordered an upper abdomen USG for another issue but they found multiple small gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder I don't have any pain though Should I consider medication or is surgery the only option

Accepted Answer

Asymptomatic gallstones don't need surgery; regular monitoring and dietary adjustments may be sufficient.

You need to consult and get yourself examined to find out the cause for chronic constipation.
