I'm dealing with jaundice and my bilirubin level is 5.2, with the conjugate one at 3.5 and the unconjugate at 1.5. How long should I expect this to take before it improves? And is it okay for me to go to college while I'm dealing with this? I've been eating boiled foods, but I'm wondering if it's safe to have noodles or something similar while I'm recovering.

With a bilirubin level of 5.2, your jaundice is mild to moderate, and recovery time varies from person to person, but typically takes 1-4 weeks; you can attend college, but take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activities; stick to a bland diet, and while boiled foods are good, avoid fattyspicy foods like noodles for now, instead opt for easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet),

View allHey, I was wondering if it's normal for someone to release gas about 50 times a day without any stomach pain. But there's this weird thing: whenever the muscle twitching stops, there's pain in the stomach. Could these be related? What could be going on here?

So I've been taking metronidazole for 4 days and accidentally drank 3 beers. I feel fine right now, but I'm worried if everything will be okay. I'm also usually a heavy drinker, so I'm wondering if that changes anything.
you may not experience any adverse effects from having a few beers, but its important to be cautious. The best course of action is to avoid alcohol for the rest of your treatment and for 48 hours after you finish the medication. If you feel unwell or develop any symptoms, seek medical advice right away.

I've been feeling this weird fullness in my upper abdomen for the last couple of days. At first, I kind of brushed it off thinking it would go away on its own, but now it's really starting to get on my nerves. Should I be worried or is it something that'll likely pass if I just wait it out a bit longer?
Feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen could be due to gas, indigestion, or mild gastritis. Try eating smaller meals, avoid heavy or spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
