I owe 2 days fasting.. I have been ill and I have to take medication. its actually 6 days.. had tonsillitis and had to take medication.
the medication course was 10 days but i am better now and i will just juggle as i would as i just want to get back to fasting - more for my psychological benefit than anything..
i deliberated on taking the medication dry as i was struggling with my conscience as to whether this was classified as food or drink.. but in all honesty i don't know as there is no reference.
but one thing i do know is that the scripture has something like if you are travelling or ill then you can substitute the number of days for fasting for other days so in retrospect there is no great conscientious debate just substitute the number for other days..
but it is a psychological thing in which we as those trying to be worship feel or don't feel whole unless we are actually partaking in the fasting during the month of ramadan itself.. but as with everything only God knows our utmost intentions and only he can judge
