Question

I'm really worried about this swelling and pain I've been having in my lower rib cage for about a month now. It's pretty uncomfortable and sometimes I even feel a burning sensation. Occasionally, the pain seems to spread to my stomach. I've had some blood tests and an ultrasound, but they didn't show anything abnormal. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like the pain in your lower rib cage could be related to muscle strain, costochondritis (inflammation of the rib cartilage), or digestive issues like acid reflux. Since your tests were normal, it might be worth monitoring your posture, stress levels, and diet, and if the pain persists, consulting a doctor for further evaluation.

Question

So, I've been dealing with jaundice for about a week now. My eyes are starting to look less yellow, which is a relief. But I'm still pretty unsure about what foods I should be sticking to or avoiding right now. I'm especially curious if it's okay to eat green chillies while I'm recovering. Could they cause any problems or side effects?

Question

I'm really struggling with this awful stomach pain and constant bloating. I was taking Digene and Rablet, and it worked for a bit, but then it just stopped being effective. Now I'm on Rablet IT and Asthymin, but there's still no relief. What's weird is that when I'm asleep, I don't have gas issues, but as soon as I wake up, it all starts again, and my whole stomach hurts. Drinking cold milk seems to help temporarily, but nothing else seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Question

I'm curious about something regarding Daflon. I took it for about two weeks when I had hemorrhoids, and it really helped. Now that I'm all better, I'm wondering if I can take Daflon again if my hemorrhoids flare up later on. Are there any specific precautions or guidelines I should keep in mind when it comes to the dosage?
