I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son. He's been having pain in his lower abdomen for the last couple of days, and it seems to stretch towards the left. This is the third time it's happened in the past two months. The last time, we got all the urine tests, CBC, and an ultrasound done, and they all came back normal. Our physician just gave him some regular medication, and the pain went away. I'm wondering if there's something else we should be doing or if there's a specific cause we might be missing?

View allMy dad, who is 58, had a fever about 9 days ago but got better after we took him to the doctor. But heres the thinghes had these really persistent hiccups for the last 7 days. At first, they just wouldn't stop. Weve been giving him coconut water and cold water which seems to help calm them down a bit, but they keep coming back. He's also on a light diet. We're worried about what this could mean. Is this something serious? Can you suggest any remedies or next steps?

I've been dealing with sticky stools and really smelly gas for about 20 days now. It's starting to worry me. Do you think I should get a stool test done? Also, what kind of treatment would you suggest for this?
Given your 20-day symptoms of sticky stools and smelly gas, consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including a stool test to rule out underlying conditions like malabsorption, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or gastrointestinal infections, and treatment may involve antibiotics, probiotics, or dietary modifications.

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),
