My stomach has been hurting for the past three days. It's like these cramps and sharp pains that come and go every day, lasting about 5 to 10 seconds before it goes back to normal. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Could it be related to some kind of gastro issue? What can I do at home to feel better?

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild gastrointestinal discomfort, possibly due to indigestion, gas, or even a mild stomach infection. Try taking an over-the-counter antacid or anti-gas medication, drink warm water, and avoid heavy or spicy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.

View allI'm a bit worried because every time I take Rekool D, it feels like the capsule gets stuck in my throat. After a while, I start to feel acid rising up into my throat, and its really uncomfortable. Some days I have a normal bowel movement, but other times its a bit mild. This has been going on since April, and I'm unsure what's happening with my body. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
Your symptoms seem to be a combination of possible acid reflux (GERD) and issues with swallowing the Rekool D medication, possibly exacerbated by IBS or digestive sensitivity. It's important to address these issues with your doctor, as they can recommend modifications in your treatment plan or explore further testing to rule out other conditions. Taking the medication with plenty of water, following up with your doctor, and potentially adjusting your diet could help manage your symptoms more effectively.

I'm getting this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat. It's odd because I haven't eaten anything that could actually get stuck. Could this be related to GERD or might it be something different? Any ideas on what's going on?
It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which can sometimes cause a feeling of something stuck in the throat. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums (calcium carbonate) or Maalox (aluminum hydroxidemagnesium hydroxide) to help reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can try using H2 blockers such as Zantac (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec (omeprazole) to further reduce acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out what the medicine department at a hospital like AIIMS or RML is all about. What do they specialize in exactly? If someone has a stomach ache, is it okay for them to go to the medicine department?
