View allI'm really worried about my mom. She had typhoid a week ago and was on Levolab 500 mg for those 7 days. Her fever went away after just 3 days, which is good, but she's still feeling super weak. And now she's been having trouble going to the bathroom, like she hasnt had a bowel movement in 3 days, though her urine seems normal. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect after typhoid? What can we do to help with the bowel issues?

I'm dealing with a stone at the neck of my gallbladder that's causing a lot of swelling. The doctor mentioned that an operation can't be done right now because of this swelling. I'm in a lot of pain and not sure what options I have. Is there anything else that can be done to help with the pain or reduce the swelling?
-It sounds really uncomfortable, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this. For now, you can try managing the pain with medications prescribed by your doctor, stay on a low-fat diet to reduce strain on your gallbladder, and stay hydrated. Follow up regularly
