My husband had a USG report showing 5.9mm gallbladder polyps six months ago. Should we be worried about this? Does he need surgery for it?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. Ever since he had an angioplasty about 20 days ago, he's been dealing with a lot of vomiting. It seems like he can't keep any solids down, except for fruits, ragi malt, and some dosas. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this?

I'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for a week now and the pain's becoming unbearable. I first tried smily cream for a couple of days but it didn't help at all. Then a friend gave me some kenacort gel and I've been using that for a couple of days along with taking a B complex capsule. Just today, an MBBS friend of mine suggested I try pantop 40 and BBiotic capsule, plus apply zytee gel. I started this new treatment tonight, on the 15th of September. Is there anything else you would recommend? I've never had an ulcer last this long, usually it gets better within a day or two. The pain's really affecting my ability to eat and now my stomach's been off too. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to tackle this.
Excessive Belching (Burping)_ 1. _Swallowing air_: Gulping down food, drinking carbonated beverages, or eating too quickly can lead to swallowing air, which contributes to belching. 2. _Digestive issues_: Conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause excessive belching. 3. _Food intolerance_: Lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or fructose malabsorption can lead to belching, bloating, and discomfort. 4. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause, pregnancy, or thyroid disorders can affect digestion and lead to belching. _Stomach Protrusion (Protruding Abdomen)_ 1. _Visceral fat accumulation_: Excess fat around the abdominal organs can cause the stomach to protrude. 2. _Muscle weakness_: Weak abdominal muscles can contribute to a protruding abdomen. 3. _Digestive issues_: Conditions like ascites, hernias, or intestinal obstruction can cause abdominal swelling. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. _Dietary changes_: Avoid trigger foods, eat smaller meals, and incorporate low-FODMAP foods to alleviate digestive discomfort. 3. _Probiotics and digestive enzymes_: Consider adding probiotics and digestive enzymes to support gut health and digestion. 4. _Exercise and physical activity_: Engage in regular exercise, such as core strengthening and aerobic activities, to improve overall health and reduce visceral fat. 5. _Manage stress_: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help alleviate digestive issues.

I'm curious about whether fasting during Ramadan can cause my throat to feel really dry. I noticed a bit of blood in my saliva once, and I've been dealing with acidity and a burning sensation in my throat and chest. Could these be related? What can I do about it?
