I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

View allI just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?
Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

I've been on Sompraz HP for 14 days, and now my doctor wants me to switch to Sompraz L. I'm worried it might be addictive. Do I really need to take it, or can I skip it?
Sompraz L is not addictive, but you should not stop it abruptly without your doctors guidance. Consult your doctor to discuss alternative treatments or a plan to gradually reduce or discontinue the medication.

I've been having some issues with stomach and stool cleaning for about a week now. I went to the hospital and the doctor recommended a syrup called Gudlax Plus. Do you think this syrup is the right choice for me, and when would be the best time to take it?
Gudlax Plus syrup, containing a combination of liquid paraffin, methylpolysiloxane, and magnesium hydroxide, is commonly used to treat constipation and promote bowel regularity; take 1-2 tablespoons of Gudlax Plus syrup at bedtime or as directed by your doctor, with a full glass of water, to help soften and clear stool, and ensure adequate hydration to facilitate its effectiveness.
