What are the best medication options to dissolve a 78 mm gallstone without surgery and how long would I need to take them Also what foods or substances should I avoid during this treatment
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Large gallstones like 78 mm don’t dissolve well; ursodiol can help in small stones—avoid fatty foods, alcohol, and fried items.

View allI've been dealing with GERD for about 7 months, and I've been switched between a few different antacids during that time. My symptoms have gotten much better lately, and my appetite is finally good again. But now I'm having issues with my menstrual cyclegoing from amenorrhea to oligomenorrhea over the past monthand I'm also feeling a bit drowsy. Could this be because of the Levosulpiride I'm taking? I'm not sure if I should keep on with the treatment or consider stopping it. What do you think?
Levosulpiride can indeed cause hormonal imbalances leading to menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea in some cases. Since you have developed these symptoms after starting Levosulpiride, it is possible that it could be the cause. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore alternative medications for your GERD that do not have this side effect.

I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?
GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars. Their durability depends on factors such as: - Size and location of the filling - Oral hygiene and maintenance - Chewing habits and forces Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.
