I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

I've been dealing with slow transit constipation and HiFiber seems to be making it worse. My doctor advised against long-term laxative use but I'm not seeing improvement. Could surgery be a viable option for my condition?

I've been dealing with a fissure for over a year now and it keeps coming back every few weeks no matter what I try. I've cut out outside food completely and seen both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors but nothing gives me a permanent solution. Is surgery really my only option at this point or are there other ways to fully heal this

if conservative therapy fails ,fistulectomy is advised.

I'm struggling with constant headaches and feel bloated all the time, plus there's this persistent gas issue. I'm not eating excessively, but I'm still dealing with this ongoing headache. My stomach feels out of sorts too. It's been like this for about two weeks now. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like your symptoms could be linked to digestive issues or even stress. You might want to consider checking for food intolerances, and managing stress, and possibly reviewing any medications you're taking. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like gastritis or migraines.
