I'm worried about my recent ultrasound results. It says I have left renal cortical cysts and grade II fatty changes in my liver, plus something called prostatomegaly. The report mentions that my left kidney is normal in size and there's no evidence of any stones or hydronephrosis. There are two cystic lesions at the lower pole, one of which is pretty big. Should I be concerned about these findings, especially the cysts and liver changes? What do these terms really mean for my health?

The pain you're experiencing after vomiting could be due to:

1. Irritation and inflammation of the esophagus (food pipe) from stomach acid.
2. Potential tears or ulcers in the esophagus or throat.
3. Spasms or constriction of the esophagus.

To alleviate the discomfort:

• Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich drinks.
• Avoid solid foods for a while; opt for bland, soft foods like yogurt or soup.
• Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac may help.
• If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
