Ate small piece of finger nail - Will it dissolve?

Patient's Query

Today i ate small piece of finger nail with food does it cause any problem or it will dissolve.. I'm confused what to do please help

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Don’t freak out if you accidentally swallow a little piece of fingernail. It’s not a big deal for your body – it can handle stuff like that. If it’s tiny, it’ll probably go through without causing any problems. Drink lots of water though – this will help it move along easily. And if you start hurting anywhere or feeling sick or notice anything strange then definitely talk to a gastroenterologist.

I'm suffering from uric acid. I'm have pain in hole abdominal and right leg fingers pinching and leg pain and I'm feeling so tired

Female | 41

Abdominal pain is not generally caused by uric acid. Leg pain, finger pinching, and fatigue could have various causes unrelated to uric acid levels. If you are suffering from a long time, you should visit a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I am 21 and I have this sharp pain in the both sides of my lower stomach,just below my ribs,it comes when I take a deep breath or talk loudly or make sharp sudden movements

Female | 21

Judging from the information you have shared, there are chances of you having lower abdomen pain caused by diaphragmatic strain or inflammation. It is necessary to seek medical assistance, such as a gastroenterologist or a GP doctor.

Gut trouble­s in older people can occur for many re­asons like diet, not enough fibe­r, or not drinking enough water. Common signs are hard poop, bloat, and fe­eling bad. Tell your dad to eat good food with lots of fruits, ve­ggies, and water. Exercise­ can also help keep things moving we­ll.

Dealing with not fee­ling all empty after going to the bathroom and tummy trouble­s, I get it. Irritable bowel syndrome­, or IBS for short, commonly brings these issues. It's a lasting condition ne­eding ongoing care. Cutting out things that trigger it like­ dairy, spicy eats, and caffeinated drinks might provide­ relief. Staying active re­gularly also helps manage symptoms. Don't forget to drink ple­nty of fluids and de-stress, as these­ can worsen IBS.

I need to know why I'm hungry with no appetite. Lately when i eat food i get disgusted by it and stop eating it. Or I don't eat at all. I by food all the time but when its time to eat it it's like a drag so I either give it away or throw it out.

Female | 19

Loss of appetite and feeling disgusted by food can be caused due to stress or anxiety, medications or digestive issues. Consult with your doctor to determine the main cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Hello my name is Mohammad my mom died from colon cancer and my aunt father side died from lung cancer and recently I am having black ( I mean like really black) poop I haven’t had any iron supplements and I’m not having abdominal pain but I lost a lot of weight in 2-3 months I hardly ever go to ???? and when I go I have very stiff black poop I don’t have eagerness for food and I was very very harmed mentally for my moms lost that I almost had days taking 1.5 kg of ambient (15*10tablets*10gr) I am also studying dentistry so if you speak in medical terms I would probably understand.

Male | 23

Do not underestimate how black stool points to possible internal bleeding of your digestive system, nor your symptoms of losing weight and having no appetite. This points to the start of a severe health issue that would be more likely benign than malignant. Besides, it's best to go through the colon and intestine diagnostics first as well as some other medical tests.

Can I smoke weed 3 weeks after gallbladder removal?

Female | 26

After gallbladder surgery, it's important to focus on taking care of yourself. While it might be tempting, it's best to avoid using cannabis during your recovery. The compounds in marijuana could slow down your healing and make you feel worse. Instead, stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet, and follow your doctor's advice to recover well.

Hitoday i bought nww pressure cooker i cooked rice in it without washing it after 3 whistle it smell like burnt wire but after this i consumed that rice and now feel little bit pain in my chest n abdomen will it cause sime serious issue like cancer please hlp me

Female | 27

It appears that you have probably inhaled a little poison while making food in the new pressure cooker. It might give the chest and stomach the feeling as though they have some annoying reasons. The pain can also come from the existence of irritation. However, it is unlikely that long-term health risks can be linked to just one exposure. Be sure to cook in a well-ventilated area next, and if you experience pain or find that it worsens, seek medical advice.
