I'm a bit worried about my mom's blood test results. Her direct bilirubin level is 0.32, and I'm seeing the normal level should be around 0.3 mgdL. Is this level something to be concerned about, or is it within a normal range? Her total bilirubin is 1.14, with direct bilirubin at 0.32 and indirect bilirubin at 0.82. Could you help me understand if these levels are okay?

I'm really worried because I haven't been able to have a bowel movement in four days. It's like the liquid stuff will come out, but none of the solid things. I even tried taking medication like Dulco, but it's just not working. What should I do?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach pain and loose motions since yesterday. The loose motions have stopped since last night, but the stomach pain is still there, and I'm experiencing a lot of gas. I tried taking Ocid 20 and Pudin Hara, but they didn't help. I even ate some dahi, but that didn't do anything either. Could you please suggest any medicine that might help with the stomach pain and stop the excessive farting?

no problem u use

I'm noticing this small swelling on my belly button that's been there for about a month now. Lately, my stomach's felt kind of bloated and I've been having some gas issues. Also, I feel kind of uneasy after eating meals. Should I be concerned about this, and what might be causing it?

The persistent swelling around your belly button, accompanied by bloating, gas issues, and discomfort after meals, may indicate a possible umbilical hernia, intestinal obstruction, or gastrointestinal issue such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consult a general surgeon or gastroenterologist for a thorough examination
