I've been having pain on the right side of my abdomen and the scan showed no appendicitis but mentioned tenderness in RIF. I'm almost done with my antibiotic course and the pain has reduced, but I still feel a slight ache when lying on my back or sideways. Do I need surgery or can this be treated with medication? Also, would unani medicine help in this case?

While your pain has improved with antibiotics, the persistent ache in the right iliac fossa (RIF) warrants further evaluation. It's possible the issue is not just an infection, but could be related to other conditions like Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, which can present with similar symptoms. Unani medicine may offer some complementary approaches, but it's important to discuss this with your doctor and integrate it with conventional treatment.

I'm feeling some really sharp pain under my ribs, like being poked with a nail. It's happening between my 3rd and 2nd last rib, and I've been dealing with it for about 45 years. Sometimes it happens every 2-3 months, but other times it's more regular. I'm starting to worry if it might be something wrong with my liver, or maybe it's just gas-related? I also have constipation issues. What could be going on?

I'm curious about something regarding Daflon. I took it for about two weeks when I had hemorrhoids, and it really helped. Now that I'm all better, I'm wondering if I can take Daflon again if my hemorrhoids flare up later on. Are there any specific precautions or guidelines I should keep in mind when it comes to the dosage?
