Question 1

curious how long after swallowing a zofran 4mg or 8mg pill does it have the effect of vomit prevention if taken at the onset of nausea caused by ibs?

That: depends upon whether you have an empty stomach! A full or partially filled stomach will delay the absorbtion of the medication...other wise 30 minutes should start the pill's effect(s)

Question 7

can excessive swallowing cause a feeling of post nasal drip?

Accepted Answer

Maybe...: Excessive swalling could cause a feeling of post nasal drip, but vice versa could occur as well. Also, if someone were to have a history of panic or anxiety, that could increase the feeling, as do some meds if they change salivation or eating habits.  This is a behavior that is most certainly amenable to cbt, however, and would decrease swallowing air and belching.

Question 10

today in bathroom i got burnt on my skin from excessive hot water now i can't bear the pain, my skin has redness and swallowing maybe, the only thing soothing me is by applying cold water on the area, can i keep applying water on it or not ?

Accepted Answer

Burn: After about 15 minutes of cold water application I recommend cleaning the burn with soap, carefully patting dry and applying an antibiotic ointment. Don't break a blister if possible. Apply a sterile gauze loosely held by paper tape. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen taken by mouth may help reduce pain. For a severe burn get treatment by a physician.
