Question 2

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of a toothpick, probably about a quarter of it, and now my throat feels a bit strange. I dont have any other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Since you've swallowed a small piece of toothpick and aren't experiencing severe symptoms, monitor your condition closely, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of intestinal perforation, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing; however, if your symptoms remain mild, it's likely the toothpick fragment will pass through your system without issue.

Question 3

I have a 3 to 4 mm gallbladder stone seen in my ultrasound and I'm experiencing abdominal pain. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

Accepted Answer

Since the stone is very small u may now require medical management only. A course of antibiotics for 5-7 days is advised to the patient.Also a sugergy opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been using Anovate for the past couple of years to manage my anal fissure, and I'm a bit concerned about any side effects it might have had or could still cause. Could you let me know what potential issues I should be aware of that I might not have noticed yet?

. No serious side effect.
