My mom ate at a party last night and started throwing up with really bad watery diarrhea afterward. She's also feeling super weak and dizzy. What medicine should we give her and in what dose?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can give her oral rehydration solution (ORS) to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, you can give her Loperamide at a dose of 2mg to help with the loose motions. If she is still feeling nauseous, you can give her Ondansetron at a dose of 4mg orally, dissolved on the tongue, up to three times a day. However, it is important to monitor her symptoms and if there is no improvement or if she gets worse, please seek medical attention.

View allI've heard that consuming Kurkure and then taking Eno can be really dangerous and might even be fatal. Is there any truth to that? Should I be worried about mixing these two?
No, it's a myth that consuming Kurkure (a spicy snack) with Eno (an antacid) can be fatal; while it's true that the combination may cause discomfort, bloating, or gas due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can kill a human.

I'm curious about something I've heard recently. Is it okay to drink sabja seeds water at night before going to bed? I've been looking for ways to improve my digestion and wondered if this might help. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Yes you can take but in limited quantity,it helps in boosting immunity also.

I'm having this issue where after I eat anything, my throat gets filled with phlegm and I struggle to breathe properly because my air flow feels blocked. Plus, I can't seem to burp at all after eating, which is really uncomfortable. It's getting particularly bad at night, making it really hard to sleep. I've also noticed that when I eat non-veg items, there's a lot of saliva that builds up all at once. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like acid reflux, sinusitis, or food allergies, and in the meantime, try antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or histamine-2 blockers, and avoid trigger foods, especially non-veg items, to alleviate severe phlegm and breathing difficulties.
