I used to smoke but quit four months ago. Recently, I visited a pulmonologist because I was having issues with coughing and feeling like I had to take deep breaths. The doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and GERD and gave me some medicine. However, whenever I stop taking the medicine, my symptoms come back. Now I'm hearing a water-like noise on the left side of my stomach just below my chest. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with loose motions right now and it's really tough to keep eating the same things like khichdi, daliya, and poha every meal. I also can't have curd rice because I've got a cough. Could you recommend any other foods that would be suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Based on the provided ultrasound results, your pregnancy appears normal. As a pathologist, you're aware of hCG's role. Given the normal fetal heartbeat (108 bpm) and length (6mm), hCG injections are likely unnecessary. Continue monitoring your pregnancy with your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been dealing with acidity issues for the past 10 years. He's been taking Aciloc for a while now, and I can't help but wonder if there are any natural remedies or home cures that might help instead of relying on medicine. Also, are there any side effects from taking Aciloc for so long?

While Aciloc is effective in managing acidity, there are also some home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms. For example, he can try consuming smaller and more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, drinking a glass of cold milk or eating a banana can also provide relief from acidity. As for the side effects of Aciloc, common ones may include headache, dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if any side effects persist or worsen.
