I've been noticing this weird pattern where I start coughing and getting phlegm right after I eat, and it seems to get worse with spicy foods. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?

I'm really worried because after getting a steroid injection in my shoulder for nerve damage, I've been having severe stomach pain. Is this normal? What should I do about it?

Steroid injections can sometimes lead to stomach pain due to irritation of the stomach lining or acid reflux. While mild discomfort may resolve with over-the-counter remedies, severe stomach pain should not be ignored. You should reach out to your doctor to evaluate the cause of the pain and ensure proper treatment.

Found a gallstone about 1.1 cm and my doctor recommends surgery. Can I try natural remedies to flush it out instead? What could happen if I don't get the surgery?

1.1 cm gallstones rarely flush out naturally. If symptomatic, surgery is recommended. Delay can lead to complications like pancreatitis.
