Hi my name is Rachael Clarke and I was recently seen for an ear infection I'm on amoxicillin and it's giving me really bad diarrhea and I'm also on ear drops morning and night same with the antibiotics what should I do

Female | 31

It sounds like the antibiotic, amoxicillin, can sometimes unsettle the stomach, leading to diarrhea. This can occur as your body adjusts to the medication. To help manage this, ensure you stay hydrated and consider incorporating probiotics into your diet, which may assist in restoring gut balance. However, if the diarrhea becomes severe or persists, it’s important to consult your gastroenterologist. They can assess your symptoms and may adjust your treatment if necessary.

Female | 28

The symptoms you're describing, like acidity, poor digestion, low appetite, and feeling down, can be tough to handle. These could be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or a stomach issue. Taking medicine for depression won’t help much if your stomach isn’t working properly. It's better to eat small, gentle meals like bananas, oatmeal, or yogurt and avoid spicy, oily foods. Drink plenty of water and try managing stress with deep breathing or light exercises. If things don’t improve, see a gastroenterologist for further advice.

Hi am having an abdiminal pain these days.

Male | 28

Various factors, e.g., dietary choices, stress, or underlying conditions such as gastritis or constipation, can be the basis of abdominal discomfort. To maintain intake of food and hydration, you must manage stress positively. Peel-off exercises, warm compresses, and a proper diet are potential relievers. However, if the issue does not go away or gets worse, I suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist.

From past 3 days I have blood with stool and on first day during pee l saw blood on my anus

Female | 20

Noticing blood during bowel movements is always worrisome and may indicate a few potential problems such as hemorrhoids, fissures, or GI conditions. It's crucial to track any extra symptoms, such as pain or alterations in your regular life. Supplying plenty of water and introducing a diet rich in fiber can be beneficial for the gut. Nevertheless, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist in order to find the real cause and then proceed with the correct treatment.

Male | 50

Frequent trips to the restroom after meals can stem from various factors, including food intolerances, digestive disorders, or an overactive gut. Common symptoms might include abdominal discomfort or urgency. To help manage this, consider tracking your food intake and identifying any patterns related to specific items. Eating smaller, more frequent meals might also ease symptoms. However, it’s important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, as they can provide tailored advice and rule out any underlying conditions.

You may have some issues with your kidneys or your urinary system. The pain in your lower abdomen and back might indicate a kidney infection or kidney stones which are the probable causes. Other symptoms to watch for are a frequent need to pee, burning when you go, or cloudy urine. It is unlikely to go away by itself and you should drink a lot of water and visit a gastroenterologist as soon as possible to make sure it is checked.

Female | 26

Pain in the lower abdomen that radiates can be linked to several conditions, including complications from your previous endometriosis or ongoing abdominal tuberculosis treatment. Persistent low-grade fever may indicate inflammation or infection. It’s crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. I strongly recommend reaching out to your gastroenterologist, who can perform necessary evaluations and adjust your treatment if needed.

Male | 32

You have been dealing with a lower left-sided bellyache near your stomach for a year now. If you've also noticed yellow, pasty stools, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. Even if your colonoscopy results were normal, it’s important to talk to your doctor about these new symptoms. The cause might be related to your pancreas or liver. Make sure to inform a gastroenterologist about all your symptoms so they can provide the proper evaluation and treatment.

Female | 32

Having lingering discomfort after gallbladder removal isn't unusual. However, ongoing right-side pain might indicate complications. You could potentially be dealing with post-cholecystectomy syndrome. This condition sometimes occurs due to affected bile ducts or digestive troubles. Consulting your gastroenterologist is crucial for relief. Additional tests or medications may be recommended to manage persistent symptoms. Take care!

Female | 24

Your symptoms, including insomnia, headaches, dizziness, and stomach cramps, indicate a possible stomach problem, especially if you drank alcohol on an empty stomach. The fact that you are throwing up and bleeding at the same time is a very serious issue, and you should see a gastroenterologist immediately. I advise you to seek professional support to be fully evaluated and get the best care and treatment available. In the meantime, make sure that you are properly hydrated, omit any irritants that you can, and give yourself as much rest as possible.
