I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm noticing some blood when I go to the bathroom and I'm pretty sure it's because I've got a scratch or something in the passage near the exit. It's also really burning when I poop. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you might have a small tear or fissure near your anus, which can cause bleeding and burning during bowel movements. It's important to keep the area clean, avoid straining, and consider using a soothing cream like zinc oxide or a sitz bath. If the bleeding continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor.

My wife's SGPT level is currently high at 220. She had a UT surgery last year and her uric acid is at 6.9. She doesn't drink alcohol and has been taking Live 52 for the past month. What can we do to bring her SGPT levels down?

I'm having some concerns and need advice. Yesterday morning, I took an ascazin tab and since then I've been feeling bloated or like my belly is full even without eating. Could it be the ascazin tab causing this, or maybe it's related to the MMR vaccine? Later in the evening on the same day, I also started experiencing shortness of breath and feeling lightheaded. I'm really worried because I have no fever, cough, or cold. Can you help figure out what's going on with my stomach?
