I've been dealing with this hiccup problem for the last three days, and someone suggested I should take liefen 10 mg tablets three times a day. I'm really curious if this medication will actually help me. Should I be taking it before meals or after?

I'm really struggling with this awful stomach pain and constant bloating. I was taking Digene and Rablet, and it worked for a bit, but then it just stopped being effective. Now I'm on Rablet IT and Asthymin, but there's still no relief. What's weird is that when I'm asleep, I don't have gas issues, but as soon as I wake up, it all starts again, and my whole stomach hurts. Drinking cold milk seems to help temporarily, but nothing else seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

avoid spicy foods and maintain regular diet

I have a 7mm gallstone can it be treated with udiliv 300 or is surgery necessary for this size? What would you recommend?

For a 7mm gallstone, surgery is often recommended as the first-line treatment due to the relatively low chance of it passing naturally and the potential for complications. Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, but its effectiveness is limited and may take months or years.

I started taking Metrogyl 400 for a bad stomach yesterday, took it twice, and now I'm feeling better. Do I still need to keep taking it, or is it okay to stop? Will it cause any issues if I don't continue? I'm just wondering if its important to finish the whole course even if I'm feeling fine now.

-It's important to complete the full course of Metrogyl to ensure the infection is fully treated. Even if you're feeling better, stopping early can lead to a relapse or resistance. If you're unsure, it's best to consult your doctor for advice.
