Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

Dog Bite Incident and Potential Infection Risk _Assessment:_ 1. _Minor wound_: The wound was small and healed quickly. 2. _Prompt wound care_: You washed the wound with Dettol liquid, reducing the risk of infection. 3. _Low-risk bite_: The dog's tooth only grazed the skin, and the wound didn't become infected. _Precautions and recommendations:_ 1. _Monitor for symptoms_: Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 2. _Rabies risk is low_: Given the minor nature of the wound and the fact that the dog is still alive and healthy (sleeping in the same place every day), the risk of rabies transmission is low. 3. _Tetanus shot_: If you're not up-to-date on your tetanus vaccinations, consider getting a booster shot. 4. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule a consultation with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if any further action is needed. _No need for:_ 1. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies_: Given the low-risk nature of the incident. 2. _Immediate antibiotic treatment_: Unless symptoms of infection develop.

I've been having mucus in my stool every day for over a month now. I used to have IBS and was dealing with constipation, but I'm feeling better since I started using Patanjali's Divya Churna, and my stool is passing more easily. I'm really worried about the mucus, though. Also, I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost more than 60% of my hair. Can you please help me figure out how to get rid of the mucus in my stool and stop the hair fall?

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.
