Can I Drink Water After Mild Choking on Rice?
i got mild choking some rice in my throath that make me cough but i can breath can i ask can i drink water?

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 10th Oct '24
Sometimes when the food goes down the wrong way it gets stuck in the throat. If you can breathe and cough this means that the airflow is not obstructed. You can try this method: drink a bit of water to help flush the rice down. Do not swallow big gulps as this may lead to more choking interventions. Small sips are recommended and you should keep coughing to remove the dirt from your throat. Get medical care if the problem continues or confirms you have a more serious illness.

I’m from India. I got a question about chilli powder or I guess paprika in the west. Can chilli cause any problem with my stomach or intestine? Can it cause ulcers? Because the whole of internet says it’s good.
Male | 30
Chilies are a healthy ingredient that most people can eat without having problems. Even though, it is also possible for a stomach to become upset, or intestines to be inflamed with chili. Stomach irritations like these can lead to symptoms such as stomach pain, acid indigestion, or indigestion. In rare cases, some people can develop ulcers after eating extremely spicy foods. These sores can appear in the stomach or intestines' lining and cause discomfort and pain. In case of nausea, an antispasmodic should be taken right before bed.

My weight has decreased by 15 to 16 kg since last 2 months and now I don't even feel hungry but when I eat anything, I feel a burning sensation in my stomach and there is difficulty in eating anything and there is pain in the soles of my feet. There is always pain and vibration, what should I do?
Male | 34
You might have some issues with your digestion. The loss of weight, no desire for food, feeling of burning in the stomach, difficulty in eating, and pain in the feet could all be connected. Gastritis or ulcers may be causing this. Eating small and frequent meals that are light on the stomach could help. Also drinking more water, and dealing with stress. If these signs continue it is important to see a gastroenterologist so they can diagnose properly and give suitable treatment.

When should I go to make a stool after taking constipride 1m twice a day
Female | 24
After taking Constipride, you might expect bowel movements within a day or two, as the medication supports regularity. However, if you experience severe discomfort, persistent bloating, or haven’t had a movement after several days, it may be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist. Constipation can stem from various factors, including diet, hydration, or lifestyle. To promote regularity, ensure you're drinking plenty of water, eating fiber-rich foods, and engaging in regular physical activity.

Male | 64
It appears that after consuming alcohol, your father may have difficulty reacting and responding too slowly. This could be because his drinking depletes nutrients from his body. Although the pills can help, it is essential for him to also take a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which are full of vitamins and minerals that promote recovery.

The stomach wound seems unhealed, and some bleeding persists. The reason is that the wound hasn't fully closed. It's good that you are using a wound pouch.

Female | 30
Elevated serum GOT (394) and GPT (327) levels in pregnancy are not widespread. These levers might be indicators of liver damage, which could be caused by some liver conditions or infections like Isaak's disease. Fortunately, you are already taking medication. Stick to your doctor's recommendations. Don't forget to have a healthy lifestyle that includes good food, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep. The monthly checkups can tell whether the problem is under control.

Good day , I have a complaint my bladder seems so full every time I go take a leak, and this have been happening for like 4days now after I had a lot of alcohol intake on Saturday night…
Female | 23
You may be experiencing a condition called urinary retention, where you feel your bladder is full even after urinating. Alcohol can cause irritation to the bladder and thus the bladder can hold onto urine. As a solution, try drinking more water to dilute the alcohol and avoid the drinking of more alcohol for now. If it doesn't improve, a gastroenterologist can provide further guidance.
