I just swallowed a plum seed by mistake about an hour ago. It didn't cause me to choke, and I'm not in any pain at the moment. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to make sure I'm okay?

Accidentally swallowing a medium sized plum seed should not cause any harm as long as you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. However, it is important to monitor for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or choking sensation. To help pass the seed through your digestive system smoothly, you can drink plenty of water to aid in digestion. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.

I've noticed that whenever I eat oily foods, I tend to cough a lot, and there's quite a bit of mucus involved. Sometimes it even feels like there's some mucus stuck in my throat. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be concerned about what's going on?

That says you are allergic to oil,try to switch oil or avoid it completely, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I've got a bit of a situation with my grade 2 fatty liver. I've been walking around 34 kms every day, trying to keep active. I take Ursocol 300 twice daily after meals, but I've also been battling some acid reflux, which is adding to my stress and affecting my sleep. Lately, I've been having bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day. Just today, I ate a full plate of papaya in the morning, and by noon, I could smell papaya when I went to the bathroom. I noticed this before when I ate a couple of servings of cabbage and some spinach juice. I took a Darolac tablet at night to help with digestion. This never used to happen to me, and I'm a bit concerned. Could this be connected to my liver or should I be looking into something else?

No need to worry you are doing good just consume balanced diet and maintain physical activity and follow your doctor advice.
