Health Query

I am almost 41. About 2 months ago I started having trouble swallowing solids. 6 weeks ago I had an anterior cervical discectomy with spinal fusion and since after the surgery I was struggling with even liquids that has gotten better and I can swallow some very soft solids however I take 3 spoonfuls or sips of something and feel bloated and uncontrollably full for hours. I alternate between diarrhea and constipation. I have frequent uti’s diabetic neuropathy, general fatigue. A few months ago I had what I think was a canker sore under my tongue all the way in the back together with an earache also on the left side and it took a month for it to go away I have the exact same thing in the exact same spot also with an earache on the same side x 10 days, medication for sore not helping hurts when I swallow. I also have not been able to regulate my body temperature for a while. For a few weeks I was sweating profusely but since my surgery i’ve been constantly freezing and about a week ago I started having cold sweats again. I’m either sweating, freezing or both at the same time and it changes from minute to minute. It was suggested that I may have autonomic neuropathy. I’m a breast and ovarian cancer survivor 3 1/2 years in remission. I receive botox injections for migraines every 90 days. I also have severe gerd but no heartburn that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

Asked for male, 34 years old from Calicut

Can I dilute moxclav tablet bcz I am not able to swallow it. I can't swallow large pills. Can I put it in water and dissolve it.

Dr. Oliyath Ali93%(42 ratings)

ENT Specialist•Delhi

Ideally it should not be dissolved but if there is no choice then you can dissolve it, but dissolve it in only 2 tsf water as the taste is very bad and you wonât be able to gulp much, but there is suspension form of same medicine also available if you search for it.

Asked for male, 36 years old from Guwahati

Please help me I started quit smoking on august 2021, simply quit. Than one by one mouth and throat issues occurred. I had series of infection from throat, voice box, palate,gums. All treated. But slowly since december I am not able to concentrate and my work, even now I constantly live with a fear of something serious. Last infection was hard palate infection, than a small area with no color change and pain but that very tiny area seems slight round and on finger touch feels like a very soft ball (tiny ball) which randomly irritates me. Few days back after morning shower I got fainted, luckily my dad and mom were just outside of the washroom door. My brother and parents carried me to bed and after 20 to 30 minutes I had my senses back and for few moment I forget where I am and who all these people. My bp check during my unconscious period was 86/72 with heart rate of 55, when I got my senses back my bp was 128/87 with heart rate of 79. Doctor waited for next 2 hours in my home and left saying observe. Than again whenever I am alone my throat feels like tight, sometimes feels like I can not swallow my saliva, no issues with drinking or eating food. My diet also well planned. Regular touched with ent, dentist even the hod of maxillofacial and oral surgeon of my nearby dental college I strongly away from smoking but all these sometimes makes me very sad and used to cry out. Shortness of breathing was gone in november 2021, than doctor noted on my test report as nad. And referred me to someone who planned by diet. Ent surgeon also checked me said I have acid reflux on december. I do not know whats happening to me, when I used to smoke I had no single health issue. Now slowly I am lost, do not know what to do. Parents also getting worried about me I am from guwahati assam, can anyone near help me out. I am willing to do anything but do not want to smoke again.
