I'm having this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I swallow, even when I just drink water. It gets worse when I burp too. This all began about three weeks ago after a pill my ENT doctor recommended got stuck in my throat, and it almost made me vomit. Since then, the pain just hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing esophageal irritation or inflammation due to the pill getting stuck in your throat. This can lead to chest pain, especially when swallowing. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce stomach acid and relieve the pain. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (Prilosec) to further reduce acid production in your stomach. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm trying to understand what a grade 2 fatty liver means. My liver is normal in size but it shows a diffused coarse increase in homogeneous echotexture. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to improve my liver health?
Grade 2 fatty liver indicates a moderate level of fatty infiltration in the liver. In your case, where the liver is normal in size and shows diffuse coarse increased homogeneous echotexture, it is important to make lifestyle modifications to improve liver health. You can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help manage the fatty liver condition. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol can also help improve liver function.

I've been experiencing a lot of gas, pain, and loose stools every morning for about a year and a half now, and I never really feel relaxed after going to the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes in the evening, my stool looks like my food is only partially digested. And it doesn't matter whether I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner - I feel pressure every time. I'm getting worried and would like to know what's going on with my digestion. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm a bit worried because every time I take Rekool D, it feels like the capsule gets stuck in my throat. After a while, I start to feel acid rising up into my throat, and its really uncomfortable. Some days I have a normal bowel movement, but other times its a bit mild. This has been going on since April, and I'm unsure what's happening with my body. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
Your symptoms seem to be a combination of possible acid reflux (GERD) and issues with swallowing the Rekool D medication, possibly exacerbated by IBS or digestive sensitivity. It's important to address these issues with your doctor, as they can recommend modifications in your treatment plan or explore further testing to rule out other conditions. Taking the medication with plenty of water, following up with your doctor, and potentially adjusting your diet could help manage your symptoms more effectively.
