I've been dealing with a fissure for about 2 months now at the 6 o'clock position and have been using ano metrogyl cream along with meds as prescribed. How long does it usually take to heal completely and will I eventually need surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anal fissures usually heal within a few weeks, often within 3-6 weeks, with appropriate treatment. If your fissure has persisted for 2 months, it may be considered chronic and might require more intensive treatment, including potentially surgery.

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).

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of plastic from an oregano sachet while I was eating pizza a couple of days ago. I'm not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, and my bowel movements seem normal. But I've been experiencing some acidity, like burps, a feeling of fullness in my throat after eating, and a bit of soreness. Should I consider getting an endoscopy, or is this something that might resolve on its own?
At this stage, its likely that you dont need an endoscopy. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.
