Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18-years-old. I am 114.6 lbs in weight. My problem is that I am not defecating in the morning, but I am urged to defecate after some time. The stomach does not become clean. And I also have metal allergies. The other problem is nausea and vomiting while traveling.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please take warm milk with excess sugar daily at bedtime, and along with it two spoons of Duphalac (Lactulose) syrup every day for a week. Eat a lot of fresh vegetables during the day and drink a lot of water. You may also eat papaya every day, which is very good at clearing the stomach.

Regarding your second query, you have a tendency of nausea when you travel. Many people also have this problem. You can chew a candy or a mouth freshener when you travel. Do deep breathing when you feel like vomiting. Eat light, and your tummy should not be full while traveling. You may also take an antacid before traveling.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
