Question 1

My mom has gall bladder stones and the doctor recommended surgery because there are many small stones that could burst and cause jaundice. She also has asthma, leg swelling, and pain. Are there any other treatment options or solutions for her condition?

Accepted Answer

With multiple stones, surgery is the safest‚Äîher comorbidities increase risk if delayed; laparoscopic surgery with precautions is preferred.

Question 2

I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem. Plus, my blood pressure was pretty low at that time, like 8070. The burning sensation comes and goes, it's not constant throughout the day. Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Persistent inflamed lymphoid tissue at the tongue base can be challenging.

Consider the following treatment options:

Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for:

1. Steroid injections or sprays
2. Antibiotics (if bacterial infection is suspected)
3. Laser treatment

Additionally, try:

1. Saltwater gargles
2. Tongue exercises
3. Avoiding irritants (e.g., spicy food, tobacco)

Work with your ENT specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

Question 3

I've been dealing with really frequent farts and burps over the past 6 months. After I eat, my belly gets bloated and it's super uncomfortable. I end up burping around 20 to 30 times and have about 40 to 50 farts, which is really annoying. I've noticed that when I eat batter-fried stuff, chicken, or hummus, it seems to get worse. What can I do to fix this issue?

Accepted Answer

To alleviate excessive gas, bloating, and discomfort, try avoiding trigger foods like batter-fried items, chicken, and hummus, and incorporate changes like eating smaller meals, chewing slowly, avoiding carbonated drinks, and staying hydrated, while considering over-the-counter remedies like simethicone, activated charcoal, or probiotics

I'm really concerned because my liver is enlarged and it's causing a lot of pain. Lately, I've also been having bad gas problems. I've already seen a bunch of doctors, but nothing seems to help. What should I do next?
