I'm experiencing some belly button pain that started about three days ago, and today I noticed some blood coming from my belly button. Should I be concerned about this? Could it be something serious?

Since you are experiencing pain and noticing blood coming from your belly button, it could indicate an umbilical infection. You may consider using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Additionally, you should keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having these weird symptoms after eating anything, like I keep burping and it feels like something's stuck in my throat, although it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. Could this be related to COVID or something else?

Question

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?

I'm dealing with acid reflux and only have aciloc rd at home. Is it okay to use aciloc rd for this? If so, what would be the right dose? I'd really prefer not to go out for more medicine due to the lockdown.
