I've been having this really annoying itching around my anus, especially at night and in the evening. It almost feels like something's crawling around in there. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been trying to cut back on sweets, hoping it might help. Do you know what could be causing this, and is there any medicine I should try? If you can suggest something, could you also let me know how and when to take it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of pinworm infection. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a single dose at night before bedtime. This medication helps to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

it might be due to allergy, try avoiding morning mist. start steam inhalation

I've been feeling really off since I ate at this remote place on Saturday. I woke up the next morning with diarrhea, fever, and just like my energy was drained. I can hardly stand or sit for long periods without feeling exhausted. The doctor gave me Unienzyme and NorflaxTZ with electrol, and while the fever's gone, the diarrhea is still hanging around. Is this normal? Should I be worried that it's not stopping? What can I do to feel better faster?

That could be food poisoning no need to worry,consume plenty of water stay hydrated,if its still continuing,you can take tab Redotil 100mg three times in a day.

I've been dealing with IBS for a few years now, and my doctor prescribed me Sompraz 40 mg and Kinpride. I've also been taking Providac for the last two years. I'm really curious if this combination is effective and if there's anything else I should be considering. What do you think?

You are currently taking Sompraz 40 mg for your IBS, which contains Esomeprazole, and Kinpride for managing the symptoms. In addition, you are also using Providac probiotic supplement to support your gut health. It's good that you are taking these medications as prescribed. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each medication to effectively manage your IBS symptoms.
