Hi. I have fever with constipation AND a hemorrhoid, but am afraid to take Advil (ibuprofen) for the fever because it may just keep me constipated. What to do?
Removed 3 teeth all together 10 days ago. Upper, left, back. I still wake up to pain every morning. Not severe pain, but need Advil to go back to sleep. Taking advil twice a day. If this is dry socket, does it heal by itself? Or do I need to see doc?
Very good afternoon doctors! I had some constipation, and very stupidly played "Musical Doctors," and went to two gastroenterologists. One told me to take Senekot or Dulcolax, and one told me to take Colace. What is your recommendation/preference?
Spouse has what appears to be hemorrhoid. Tried baths, PrepH, witch hazel, Advil, (ibuprofen) high fiber. Grossly uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
