I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I've been experiencing this sharp, needle-like pain on the right side of my stomach, and it's kind of weird. It comes and goes, sometimes just for a few seconds but can last up to three minutes. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

I've been noticing that whenever I eat, it feels like the food isn't going down the right way and ends up in my windpipe. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I often get a burning feeling afterwards. I'm really concerned this might turn into aspiration pneumonia. What can I do to handle this? Would love some advice.

That could be GERD vist Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?

Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.
