I've been dealing with some intense pain in my lower abdomen ever since I was told I have kidney stones a few days ago. The ultrasound showed a 4mm stone, and my doctor prescribed me meftal spas for the pain, but it's not really working for me. The pain is seriously tough to handle. Is there any other way to manage or stop this pain?

If Dolo 650 isn't effective, consider the following options:

Consult your doctor before switching medications.

You can try Crocin (paracetamol) 650mg or Calpol (paracetamol) 650mg.

If your fever is severe, your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication like Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol) or Brufen (ibuprofen).

However, always consult your doctor before taking any new medication.

Additionally, ensure staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.

My foreskin feels really tight when I get an erection and it's causing discomfort. I don't have issues when I'm not erect, but during arousal, it gets too tight. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis; consult a urologist before considering circumcision.
