Can I take midol and DayQuil and NyQuil all in one day if I space it out?

Female | 19

For period pain relief, Midol can be taken during menstrual discomfort, and DayQuil and NyQuil help to combat the period. Inadequate sleep, the symptoms of cold and flu such as coughing and congestion are with tea to relieve by DayQuil and NyQuil. They may be taken at different times in general and they are tolerated in the body. At the same time, however, you should pay special attention to the total dose you take because of acetaminophen, which is found in both DayQuil and NyQuil. I propose that you stay away from gluttony and remain alert to your physical state. In case you would like to receive personalized healthcare advice, the most suitable option is to have a conversation with a medical specialist who can offer a customized opinion corresponding to your situation. Be well!

I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?

Male | 37

Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

My 8-year-old son is a very picky eater and refuses to eat vegetables. How can I ensure he's getting all the necessary nutrients?

Female | 36

Frequently, kids are selective eaters, but they need to satisfy the proper nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. If your son avoids vegetables, you can attempt to mix them with his favorite meals such as smoothies or pasta sauce. The choice of some fruits, grains, and various types of proteins like meat, eggs, and beans as opposed to only one product will be given to kids.

While they commonly emerge from dehydration, diet, or other related things, the situation is not impossible to be solved. For a solution, the guarantee is you will be consuming a lot of water every day along with fiber intake and low salt diet. Introduce minerals, vitamins, and fiber into your diet, while consuming animal protein and oxalate-rich foods like spinach in small quantities.

I've heard a lot about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. What are some good dietary sources of omega-3s, and how much should I be consuming daily?

Female | 28

Dietary food sources of omega 3 fatty acids are : Flaxseeds, chia seeds, egg yolks, salmon (Indian rawas) , mackerel (Bangda). But as a therapeutic diet expert, I would always recommend taking omega 3 fish oil supplement. Daily requirement is 1g which means you will have to take 3 capsules to get your requirement fulfilled. For people who have lot of inflammation, diabetes, arthritis, thyroid or any infection in the body, the requirement can increase upto 2000 (6 capsules) to 3000 mg (9 capsules) of omega 3 to reach 50% of the optimal range. My everytime and best brand : Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3 capsules. ✅

I'm 22 but I'm only 40 kg now. I'm too much skinny. I have hypothyroidism, IBS, chronic gastric issues & digestive issues. I'm experiencing bad breath since a long time. I've tried a lot to gain weight & to reduce bad breath but these two are not happening anyway.

Female | 22

At 22, your weight and ongoing symptoms can be concerning. Hypothyroidism often affects metabolism, while IBS and digestive issues may hinder nutrient absorption, impacting your weight and overall health. Additionally, persistent bad breath could result from gut imbalances or oral hygiene concerns. To address these, focus on a balanced diet rich in calories, protein, and healthy fats, and consider small, frequent meals. Staying hydrated and maintaining good oral hygiene are essential. It’s important to discuss your situation with a healthcare professional, who can provide tailored strategies and monitor your health effectively.
