Motion sickness can be defined as nausea and dizziness when one travels. The phenomenon can be caused by the confusion in the brain between the signals sent. Motion sickness meds are usually taken. However, Dulcolax is a laxative intended to be used for constipation treatment, not motion sickness. It may result in cramping and diarrhea. It is crucial to refrain from any other drugs and consult a gastroenterologist.

I have been prescribed zerodol for back pain for 5 days. But I also have gastric after 5 days I am having acid reflux. What should I do

Female | 26

Zerodol may have relieved the pain, but it left you with an unpleasant twist in your stomach—acid reflux, also known as heartburn. This condition occurs when stomach acid flows back into your esophagus, causing a burning sensation in your chest or throat. To manage it, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and stay upright for a while after eating.

The patient was complaining of upper stomach discomfort, bloating and excessive gas. they decided to self-medicate with paracetamol and Metrogyl pills for one day. the patient went to the hospital 36 hours later. the doctors did tests, a total blood count, stool and urine test which all turned out negative. The physician said it might be indigestion. prescribed omeprazole, relcer gel and levofloxacin. its been 48 hours and the patient still has no relief from their symptoms. please advise

Female | 31

If the patient has not experienced relief from their symptoms after 48 hours of following the prescribed medications, it would be advisable for them to contact their physician for further evaluation. . In the meantime the patient can try avoiding trigger foods, eat smaller meals, stay hydrated, and manage stress.

Had the flu week ago….all the symptoms…. Stool clay color, now having pain under right rib cage…2 days ago started having loose stools every time eating something…Stool getting back to normal color now… No abdominal pain and no back pain….Is this something be concerned with… Do not take med only Tylenol….

Your flu last wee­k messed with your digestion. The­ clay-colored poop is likely due to a live­r or gallbladder hiccup. That rib pain on your right side? It connects. The­ loose stool after eating shows your body's still he­aling. But since your poop's regaining color and pain's mild, just rest up. Drink lots of wate­r. Eat simply digestible foods. If that rib ache pe­rsists or intensifies, see­ a doctor. For now, your body's recovering from illness.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast

Male | 21

Ah, see­ms diarrhea has interrupted your inte­rmittent fasting schedule. Diarrhe­a is frequent bowel move­ments, often caused by fasting's e­ffects on digestion. When e­nding your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice­, or toast. These soothe the­ stomach. Hydrate extensive­ly with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, se­ek medical advice.

I drink 6l of water a day is that good?

Female | 20

Drinking 6 liters of water a day is generally more than what most people need, and it could lead to an imbalance in your body’s electrolytes. It’s best to drink water according to your thirst and daily activities. I suggest you consult a general physician to discuss your water intake and overall hydration needs.
