I've been having ongoing stomach pain that isn't getting any better even after taking CYCLOPAM. I'm 68 years old and not sure what to do now. Any advice?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I understand your concern. Persistent stomach pain despite taking Cyclopam could indicate a more serious underlying issue such as gastritis, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to seek medical attention immediately, preferably with a visit to your healthcare provider or an emergency department, to properly diagnose and treat the cause of your discomfort.

View allI had laparoscopic surgery a while back but still get morning nausea and a bloated stomach sometimes. I've been taking nexpro rd 40 on an empty stomach in the morning, acta pro 100 mg three times a day, folvite two tablets three times a day, and essogress l before dinner at 8 pm since March 2019. How much longer do I need to keep taking these meds?
it's highly recommended to speak with your doctor about the ongoing need for these medications, especially since you've been taking them for a long period. They can assess your individual situation, consider the benefits and risks of continuing the medications, and determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

My dad's HbsAg test came back positive, so it looks like he's got Hepatitis B. I'm really worried about what this means for his health. Can you please help us understand what our next steps should be for treatment and how we might cure this?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications. Antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir are commonly prescribed to help reduce the viral load in the body and slow down the progression of the disease. It's important for your father to follow up with a healthcare provider regularly for monitoring and to discuss the best treatment plan for his specific situation.

I'm dealing with a fissure and it's really uncomfortable. I'm hoping for some advice on how to heal it permanently. Could you suggest any treatments or steps I should take to get rid of this issue for good?
Fissures can be quite painful and bothersome. To help heal a fissure permanently, you can try using a topical ointment called Rectiv. Apply a pea-sized amount of Rectiv 0.4% ointment to the affected area twice daily for up to 4 weeks. Additionally, you can take stool softeners like Colace to prevent constipation and reduce straining during bowel movements. It is also important to increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote regular bowel movements and prevent further irritation.
