The doctor recommended I get an operation but I'm really hesitant about endoscopy surgery. I'm also worried about taking time off work since getting leave is tough. Are there any other options I could consider instead of surgery?

Question

I'm dealing with a severe piles issue with bleeding, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation. Bowel movements are really difficult, and I have to strain a lot. I read that thuthi keerai might help treat piles, but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby is it safe to take right now? I don't want surgery, just some temporary relief since I can't pass stool normally. What can I do to manage this?

Question

I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

Question

I'm really worried about my father. Weve used Dizone 250 mg before to help him stop drinking and it worked, but we stopped it for a year and he started wanting to drink again. We gave him one tablet with dinner and after a few days he felt really uneasy and started vomiting, just like last time. This time though, he had some blood in his vomit, which didnt happen before. Is it normal for this medicine to cause blood in vomit or should we be concerned about something else? I'm really worried about the blood part.
