I noticed a movable wobbly lump on the lower left side of my rib cage, about the size of a golf ball. Could you tell me what this might be?
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with fever can be concerning. Since the dengue test is negative, other causes like viral infections, bacterial sepsis, or autoimmune disorders should be explored. Consult a hematologist or an infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and guidance. Repeat platelet counts and other diagnostic tests may be necessary.

I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy today and was curious if I could use medical marijuana for pain relief instead of the prescribed medications. Is it safe, or should I avoid it?
It's generally best to avoid smoking anything, including medical marijuana, immediately after surgery like laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Smoking can irritate your lungs and slow healing. You should follow your doctor's pain management plan, and if you're considering marijuana, discuss it with them first for safe guidance.
