Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

View allI've been dealing with this annoying acidity every morning for the last few days. It's like I wake up and feel this urge to vomit, and sometimes there's a lot of gas too. Lately, it even feels like there's acid being released or something. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help with gas. Make sure to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help alleviate your symptoms.

I accidentally swallowed a small chocolate while sneezing and I'm worried where it went. It happened really fast and now my sneezes have stopped, but Im feeling tense about it. I'm not having any issues right now, but could you let me know if it's more likely in my stomach or my lungs? Just need a little clarity to ease my mind.

I'm really worried because I've had a stomach ache and an upset stomach for the past two days. I feel nauseous all the time and can't seem to get any sleep. On top of that, I've got a bad cough and cold. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do?
I'm sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you might be dealing with a stomach issue and a cold at the same time, which can make everything worse. If the symptoms persist, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor to get proper treatment and find some relief.
