Is LINX surgery available in India and how does it compare to other treatments for faster recovery? I've heard it can be removed if complications arise but I'm not sure about success rates or where to find good specialists for this procedure

Yes, LINX surgery is available in India, according to Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia and other surgeons like Dr. Tulip Obese. It's a minimally invasive procedure to treat GERD, offering potential for faster recovery compared to more extensive surgeries like Nissen fundoplication, says VIP Surg and endoscopic treatments, according to www.atulpeters.com and IndiCure Health Tours. The LINX device can be removed if complications arise, but success rates and long-term outcomes are generally good.

I've been experiencing a lot of gas, pain, and loose stools every morning for about a year and a half now, and I never really feel relaxed after going to the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes in the evening, my stool looks like my food is only partially digested. And it doesn't matter whether I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner - I feel pressure every time. I'm getting worried and would like to know what's going on with my digestion. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm dealing with mild proctitis and my doctor suggested I take Ornicef tablets. However, I've had a reaction to the ornidazole in itmy mouth's lining has swollen and I've taken cetrizine but now my eyes have turned red too. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Make a note of the allergic trigger and ensure to add this information to your medical records for future consults. According to your symptoms, the allergic response does not seem to be severe, however, if the swelling and inflammation seem to be worsening, do not delay in visiting a nearby physician. You may require intravenous anthistamines or steroid therapy.
