I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?

It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

I've been prescribed Tryptomer and I'm taking it after my evening meal, but I've started experiencing heartburn only at night since starting it. Is this a known side effect of Tryptomer? Should I be concerned or do anything about it?

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as headaches and thirst, are likely due to the high dose of Vitamin D3. Consider taking the supplements every 10-15 days instead of weekly. Also, increase your water intake to alleviate thirst and drink water before taking the supplement. To quickly recover from Vitamin D3 deficiency, maintain a balanced diet rich in Vitamin D sources (fatty fish, fortified dairy products, mushrooms). Consult your doctor for personalized advice and to monitor your Vitamin D3 levels.

I accidentally swallowed a housefly the other day and my friend told me that it could lay eggs inside my body. I'm really worried about this. Is there a chance that something bad could happen? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned or not?

Accidentally swallowing a housefly is unlikely to cause any harm. The acids in your stomach will most likely break down the fly. There is no need to worry about the fly laying eggs in your body. Just drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please consult a doctor.

I often notice that I have mucus after I eat, even if I dont have a cold. It seems to happen with any food, especially spicy ones. Can you explain why this might be happening? Do you have any suggestions for home remedies I could try?

Sputum for AFB ,microscopy and complete blood count is advised to the patient. Also steam inhalation and warm saline gargles is advised to the patient.
