General Medicine

Abdominal pain refers to discomfort originating anywhere in the abdominal cavity. It can be acute or chronic, ranging from mild discomfort to severe, potentially life-threatening pain. Causes include gastrointestinal infections, constipation, biliary or urinary diseases, recent surgery, trauma, systemic illness, and medications.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways of the lungs, causing inflammation and narrowing of the air passages. This leads to difficulty in breathing, particularly during asthma attacks or exposure to triggers. Asthma can develop at any age and varies in severity from person to person. Although it cannot be cured, asthma can be effectively managed with proper treatment, avoidance of triggers, and regular monitoring. With good care, people with asthma can lead active and healthy lives.

Bronchitis is a respiratory condition in which the bronchial tubes, responsible for carrying air to the lungs, become inflamed. This inflammation causes increased mucus production and makes breathing difficult. Bronchitis can be acute, often caused by infections, or chronic, usually linked to long-term irritation such as smoking or air pollution. It commonly affects people during cold seasons and can cause persistent coughing. Early care and avoiding triggers help reduce symptoms and prevent complications.

Diarrhea is a common digestive condition characterised by frequent, loose, or watery stools. It usually occurs due to infections, contaminated food or water, or digestive problems. Diarrhea can be short-term (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Although often mild, it can become serious if it leads to dehydration, especially in children and older adults. Proper hygiene, safe food practices, and early care help reduce complications and support quick recovery.
