HI,

For now, review your diet to see if there are any recent changes. However, most similar symptoms will resolve and don't necessarily require medical intervention.

I wish you well and do keep me updated.

I went to see my family doctor he thinks its just some sort of bug. And gave me some buscopan for the discomfort. My bowel movents havent changed there just a bit softer. Still a normal light brown colour. I have never had a problem with acit reflux or heartburn but since i had the gas it sometimes burns. Can a bug do this. The discomfort is constant all day. Not painful just annoying .

Brief Answer:
Likely to be a bug and in most cases a virus

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up query.

I have reviewed this information fully. It is very possible that this could be cause by a bug and in most cases a virus. This generally requires no specific attention. All this is required is increased fluids intake, exercise and a positive state of mind. Monitor and significant progress would set in within 3-5days as the body system is strong enough to fight this infection all on its own.

Keep me posted with your progress and I will chip in more specific advise if need be. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

I went to my family doctor today he thinks it's peptic acid disease or giardisis. Taking some medication to try and treat it. I get so worked up over things like this because since a child I have had the worst phobia of needles and it just seems like I'm alone in this battle and everyone even some doctors just point a laugh instead of finding a way to give my proper medical attention or procedures to help me even with my fear.

Brief Answer:
We are all afraid of needles....We simply react to different extents.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

Not that doctors might not care about your phobia but they might not have paid much attention to it like you do. I will suggest you ask a straight up question next time on how you can reduce your needles phobia. They will for sure provide straight up answers.

I wish you well and let me know how it unfolds next.

My doctor perscribed me with and i may spell these wrong. Pantroprazol and metrondizol. Can i take zantac with these?

Answered by Dr. Chobufo Ditah (3 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Pantoprazole covers for Zantac...NO additional benefits!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Pantoprazole covers for Zantac and therefore this will not be of any additional benefits to you. I will rather suggest you stop taking Zantac all together.

I wish you well.
