I've been having this really strange issue whenever I drink water. It kind of feels like it's getting stuck in my esophagus or something, and then I can't breathe for like a minute or two. It's pretty scary and it seems like I might not be able to breathe again. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

View allI'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.
Montair LC and Allegra-M are both antihistamines used to treat allergies, but they have some differences. Key differences:* 1. Levocetirizine (in Montair LC) is more sedating than Fexofenadine (in Allegra-M). 2. Montair LC is often prescribed for asthma, while Allegra-M is primarily for allergies. 3. Allegra-M has a faster onset of action (1-2 hours) compared to Montair LC (2-4 hours).

My mom has multiple gallstones with the biggest one at 15mm, and the doctor wants us to control her diabetes for 12 months before surgery. There's also a 43cm cyst in her right adnexa, but the doctor said removing it isn't urgent and could be too expensive to do along with the gallbladder surgery. He mentioned the cyst has a low chance of causing issues later. Should we still push to remove the cyst now or is it okay to leave it?
If the cyst is simple and asymptomatic, it’s okay to monitor it; focus on stabilizing diabetes first before combining surgeries.

I've had a chronic anal fissure for the past 11 months that keeps coming back whenever I pass hard stool, even though it heals sometimes with laxatives. The doctor said it's an anterior fissure. Is there any way to heal this completely without surgery? I really want to avoid surgery but it keeps recurring when I stop laxatives
Yes, it's possible to heal a chronic anterior anal fissure without surgery, even if it's recurring. The key is to address the underlying cause, which is often hard stools and straining during bowel movements, and to manage the symptoms effectively.
