I'm trying to figure out what the medicine department at a hospital like AIIMS or RML is all about. What do they specialize in exactly? If someone has a stomach ache, is it okay for them to go to the medicine department?

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 having some issues with my stomach. It's been feeling upset, and I'm getting these sour burps. Plus, my stomach just feels really full, like nothing's moving right. I'm not sure if I should take any medicine for it, or if eating something right now would help or make it worse. Could you advise on what I should do?

Is LINX surgery available in India and how does it compare to other treatments for faster recovery? I've heard it can be removed if complications arise but I'm not sure about success rates or where to find good specialists for this procedure

Yes, LINX surgery is available in India, according to Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia and other surgeons like Dr. Tulip Obese. It's a minimally invasive procedure to treat GERD, offering potential for faster recovery compared to more extensive surgeries like Nissen fundoplication, says VIP Surg and endoscopic treatments, according to www.atulpeters.com and IndiCure Health Tours. The LINX device can be removed if complications arise, but success rates and long-term outcomes are generally good.
