So I've been taking metronidazole for 4 days and accidentally drank 3 beers. I feel fine right now, but I'm worried if everything will be okay. I'm also usually a heavy drinker, so I'm wondering if that changes anything.

you may not experience any adverse effects from having a few beers, but its important to be cautious. The best course of action is to avoid alcohol for the rest of your treatment and for 48 hours after you finish the medication. If you feel unwell or develop any symptoms, seek medical advice right away.

My wife has external hemorrhoids and wants to manage them through diet to avoid surgery for now. Can you suggest foods that help control and reduce the problem? Also, what foods should she avoid?
Your doctor may recommend that you eat more foods that are high in fiber. Eating foods that are high in fiber can make stools softer and easier to pass and can help treat and prevent hemorrhoids. Drinking water and other liquids, such as fruit juices and clear soups, can help the fiber in your diet work better.
