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?

I have a 3 to 4 mm gallbladder stone seen in my ultrasound and I'm experiencing abdominal pain. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

Since the stone is very small u may now require medical management only. A course of antibiotics for 5-7 days is advised to the patient.Also a sugergy opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm Arindam, 22 years old, and I've been really struggling with some ongoing digestive problems. Back in August 2015, I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia, and before that, in January 2014, I had a superficial stomach ulcer. Now, I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, acidity, and stool problems, plus I feel nauseous after every meal for about 20 to 30 minutes. I'm really tired all the time and always feel like my stomach is full. It's gotten so bad that I can't keep up with my studies. Do you have any advice on how I can start feeling better?

Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity.. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas. Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines

Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: *I have two gallstones, one is 12mm and the other is 15mm. Is it safe to try for another baby without getting gallbladder surgery first? What risks should I be aware of?* This version keeps the medical details intact, sounds worried but not overly formal, and avoids robotic phrasing. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Having two gallstones, especially one larger than 10mm, increases the risk of complications during pregnancy. While surgery might not be immediately necessary, it's best to discuss your situation with a doctor before trying to get pregnant, as the risk of gallbladder issues can increase during pregnancy. Larger stones are more likely to cause problems like cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation) or pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation).
