I've been having really bad loose motions since this morning, probably around 15 to 20 times already. A friend told me to take norfloxacin 400mg, tinidazole 600mg, and lactobacilli. Do you think it's safe for me to take these?

I've been dealing with burps and these weird gurgling sounds in my throat for the past two months. Whenever I walk, take the stairs, or lie down, there's this liquid sound in my throat too. I have this mild dry cough and sometimes feel a bit breathless. Even though I had a chest X-ray a month ago that came back normal, I still get these random vibrations in my chest. I'm not sure what's causing all of this, but it's really tiring me out. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

ENT opinion is advised to the patient.

My father has multiple gallstones with a 4.7 cm one in the mid pole and cystitis changes can this be treated with medicine or does he need surgery?

In general, gallstones that cause symptoms or complications typically require treatment, which often includes surgery. While medications might be used in some cases, they are less common and may not be effective for larger stones or if symptoms are severe. Cystitis, or bladder inflammation, is typically treated with antibiotics.
