Can someone help me with understanding if radish, especially the white kind, is okay for acidity issues? A friend mentioned radish juice could help with my constipation, but since it has a spicy taste, I'm worried it might actually cause more acidity.

My wife has been dealing with water-like loose motions since yesterday. She tried pudin hara last night, which helped her sleep, but this morning, she's been to the loo four more times. She's been drinking Electrol to stay hydrated. Theres no pain, but should we be doing something more?

-It sounds like your wife is dealing with a mild case of diarrhea, but since she's staying hydrated with Electrol and doesn't have pain, she should hopefully recover soon. If it continues for more than 48 hours, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor

I recently had an ultrasound and found out that my spleen is mildly enlarged at 12.63 cm without any focal lesion. I'm 5.8 ft tall and weigh 83 kgs. Also, I was COVID positive earlier. Right now, my total bilirubin level is 1.3 mgdl and my direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and my RBC count is 4.4 ul. Could you help me understand what all this might mean and what steps I should take? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.
