My dad is having loose motion and vomiting right now, and it all seemed to kick in at the same time. It's really late, and we don't have any medicine at home, plus all the pharmacies are closed. Do you know of any home remedies that might help him feel better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For loose motion and vomiting, you can try giving your father oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can make ORS at home by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Make sure he drinks plenty of this solution to stay hydrated. Please consult a doctor in the morning for further evaluation and management.

View allI have this feeling like there's gas trapped in my throat. When I drink water, I burp for a second, but then nothing changes, and the gas is still stuck there. It's really uncomfortable, and I can't sleep or even lie down for long periods because of it. What can I do to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup to help relieve the gas and discomfort in your throat. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed, up to several times a day. Additionally, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like omeprazole (Omez) once a day before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Make sure to avoid lying down immediately after eating and try to elevate your head while sleeping to help prevent acid reflux. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for some advice on treating a fatty liver, specifically grade 2. I've come across Tendomac tablets - do you know if they are effective for this condition? I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me.
Tendomac tablet is not specifically related to treating fatty liver grade 2. For fatty liver grade 2, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol. In terms of medication, Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is commonly prescribed to improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels.

My father has a 9mm CBD stone and has been having abdomen pain and jaundice for the last three days. Can this be treated without surgery or is surgery the only option? What are the alternatives?
CBD stones with jaundice usually need ERCP or surgery—delaying may cause serious complications.
