I've been dealing with this internal cold and sore throat for a couple of months now, and on top of that, I've got gas problems that are causing constipation. It feels like my belly is constantly filled with gas, and it's really making life hard for me. I've tried some medicines like some kind of pauladom and lanol, and they helped for a while with the gas. But then it all started up again, and now my doctor has me on some sinno spray for the cold and rablet. Could you help me understand what these symptoms might be all about?

When higher antibiotics are taken they kill the normal flora of the gut, and cause irregular bowel movements. They also cause gastritis. For this you will have to take a course of probiotics. Also other causes for irregular bowel movements and gastritis like malabsorption syndromes, metabolic disorders, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis will have to be looked at. So kindly consult a nearby general surgeon for your abdomen problems and ENT specialist for cold and sore throat. You might be started on proton pump inhibitors and probiotics for the same.

I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?

It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer. After a fissurectomy, changes in stool consistency can happen due to factors like diet or healing. However, if you notice other symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.

I've been having a lot of issues with my stomach being really bloated and hard, like it's filled with gas all the time. It's starting to feel like a rock, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Even when I eat normal foods, I end up with acidity. I talked to my general practitioner, and I've been taking Esoz D when the bloating and acidity hit, but I'm worried its not really solving the issue. Is there something else I can do to get this under control? Should I be looking at my diet or something else?

You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating, which can lead to acidity. In addition to taking esoz D, you can also try taking simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. For acidity, you can consider taking ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.
