Question 1

Can I eat mangoes before going to bed? How long should I wait after eating one? I'm a bit worried it might cause some digestive issues.

Accepted Answer

You can eat mango at night in moderation, but it's best to have it at least 1-2 hours before bed to give your body time to digest. Eating too close to bedtime might cause discomfort or indigestion for some people, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.

Question 2

I recently had an ultrasound and found out that my spleen is mildly enlarged at 12.63 cm without any focal lesion. I'm 5.8 ft tall and weigh 83 kgs. Also, I was COVID positive earlier. Right now, my total bilirubin level is 1.3 mgdl and my direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and my RBC count is 4.4 ul. Could you help me understand what all this might mean and what steps I should take? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.
