I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Investigation:
Chest X-ray PA view
Spirometry (lung function test)
Upper GI endoscopy (if reflux symptoms severe )
CBC + Absolute eosinophil count + Serum IgE
Your symptoms are most likely due to acid reflux aggravating the throat and airways, along with allergic cough. You need chest X-ray, spirometry, and possibly endoscopy. Start acid suppression and anti-allergy treatment, plus lifestyle changes. Relief may take 2–4 weeks.

I am a General Practitioner who kind of lives on the frontline of everything, really. From sneezes to serious stuff, I handle a mix of it all—and weirdly, that’s what I love about being a GP. I get to see newborns coming in for their first jabs, and then later that day maybe I'm talking through meds with someone who's managing diabetes or heart disease for years. There’s a lot of variety, which keeps me on my toes—nothing ever feels too routine. Most days, I’m diving into a bit of everything—diagnosing infections, keeping an eye on chronic conditions like asthma or hypertension, helping folks plan their health goals, or sometimes just being a good listener when they need to vent. Preventive care’s a big deal for me. I like to catch things early, before they grow into something more serious. Sometimes all it takes is one small observation or something a patient casually mentions—and that changes everything. What I try to do is treat people, not charts. It's about who they are, what matters to them, and what really works in their life—not just what the textbook says. Every treatment plan I make is adjusted based on the real-world challenges each person’s facing. I also explain stuff in plain language. Like, no jargon for the sake of sounding clever. If someone doesn’t understand their condition, how can they take care of themself properly? Oh, and I do my best to keep learning constantly. Medicine doesn’t pause, right? Whether it’s a new guideline, research update or clinical tool—I keep checking, reading, taking notes (sometimes at midnight, honestly). All of this helps me feel confident that what I’m offering isn’t outdated or guesswork. What keeps me going is the trust people place in me. Being someone’s go-to doctor, knowing they’ll come to me when they’re worried or confused—that’s a big responsibility. But also kinda a gift. I don’t just see symptoms, I see stories—and I get to be part of their health journey from day one to who-knows-when. It's not perfect, and yeah, sometimes I feel I missed something or could’ve said something better. But I’m always trying, always caring, and I’m really here—for all of it.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Chronic dry cough accompanied by vomiting and acidic mucus over several months can be quite uncomfortable and might indicate a number of underlying causes. It’s important to get a proper diagnosis because the management will depend widely on identifying the root cause. First, it might be worth investigating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as this condition often involves a backflow of acid that could irritate the throat and may cause coughing and vomiting. Additionally, postnasal drip, asthma, or even chronic sinusitis could contribute to your symptoms. For diagnostics, consider seeing a healthcare professional for tests including a chest X-ray to rule out any lung-related conditions, and an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate for GERD or related issues. A pH monitoring test to assess acid levels might also be advisable. In terms of treatment, while Montelukast can help some people with allergy-induced coughing, evaluating whether a proton-pump inhibitor like omeprazole or a histamine-2 blocker might relieve symptoms is worth discussing with your doctor. Also, modifications to your diet, such as avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating, could help reduce reflux symptoms. If your dry cough is due to asthma, inhalers like a corticosteroid or a bronchodilator might be prescribed. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier can sometimes reduce coughing severity. Importantly, if symptoms persist or worsen, it’s critical to follow up with a healthcare provider to ensure proper management and to look for other potential causes.
