-It's important to seek medical attention immediately after swallowing a stapler pin, as it could cause injury or blockages. Your health should be the priority, so it's best to go to the hospital right away and reschedule your exam if needed.

I've been having this pain that starts in my right waist and goes through to my abdomen. It starts off in the evening and keeps getting worse as the night goes on, becoming really severe until I take some medicine like Nicip P to help. I'm not sure which specialist I should reach out to for this. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing loose motions and joint pain, and my tongue feels tasteless. I'm also feeling drowsy and really tired. Plus, my stomach has this crampy feeling. What could be causing all of this and what should I do about it?

I've been having some diarrhea and mild pain in the upper part of my stomach since yesterday. The pain eases when I go to the bathroom, but my stools are really watery. Should I be taking Ciplox TZ or Noflox TZ for this? And how much should I take?
