I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for three years now and have been taking Lacsyp and some other antibiotics, though I forgot the name. Sometimes it eases up, but now I'm dealing with hard bowels, pain, and discomfort again. Today, I noticed some pus-like material on my rectum while bathing. Plus, I'm also having trouble with gas. What do you think might be going on, and is there something more I should be doing to get relief or prevent this from getting worse?

It migght a an infection, drink plenty of water if there is severe pain and fever and consult your surgeon

I've been feeling a bit off since last night. I ate biryani around 10:30 PM, and this morning I started vomiting. I tried drinking Eno, but I'm still experiencing some occasional pain. It's weird because sometimes it feels like I might vomit again, and I've also been dealing with a lot of gas and waste leaving my body. Could this be something serious, or is it just food-related? What should I do?

use vomistiop for nausea and vomitings ,if symptoms persist consult your doctior
