I've been dealing with shortness of breath and acidity for about a week now. I saw a doctor who suggested Ranitidine, Diclofenac, and Ciprofloxacin. The meds help, but the symptoms seem to come back pretty quickly. Should I keep taking these meds? How long should I be on them, and do you think I need to get some tests done?

View allI'm dealing with some really bad burning and itching in my anus, plus there's bleeding too. It's super painful when I go to the bathroom, and I feel the burning and itching all day long. Is it possible to treat piles completely without surgery? Can I get rid of it completely with just medication? What can I do to sort this out?
Consult your doctor before adding flaxseeds to your diet, especially with kidney problems. Flaxseeds are high in oxalates, which can worsen kidney stone formation or exacerbate existing kidney issues. However, flaxseeds also have anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids, which may benefit kidney health. Your doctor can help determine if flaxseeds are safe for your specific kidney condition. If approved, start with a small amount (about 1 tablespoon) and monitor your body's response. Regularly follow up with your doctor to adjust your diet and treatment plan as needed.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with loose motion for the past couple of days. I took Metroquin this morning and again tonight, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Is there anything else I should try, or do I need to wait longer for it to work? Also, is there something specific in my diet that I should be avoiding or eating to help with this?
Metroquin is a combination of Metronidazole and Diloxanide. Since the issue persists, I recommend adding a probiotic to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. You can try taking Enterogermina capsule once a day for 3-5 days. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider a light diet.

I've been having upper abdominal pain, trouble breathing and swallowing, and a sore throat for a while. Two years ago, I had a laparoscopy for appendicitis. Recently saw a gastroenterologist who mentioned lax cardia grade A reflux esophagitis but didn't explain much. What does this condition mean and how can I manage it?
It means your stomach acid is flowing back up; treat with lifestyle changes, PPIs, and avoiding late meals.
