Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

I've been feeling really weird and tried to make myself vomit by putting my hand in my mouth. But when I spit, I noticed some blood type saliva and felt like something was stuck in my throat. I'm seriously worried. Do you think it's because I put too much pressure on my throat, or maybe my nails caused some bleeding? There weren't large amounts of blood, just some small specks. No other health problems here, and my recent CBC was all normal. What could be causing this? Please help, I'm really scared.

Question 3

I've been drinking whisky regularly, usually two pegs a day. Recently though, even when I have just one peg, my eyes turn red, and my head feels strained. It's gotten me a bit worried, so I've stopped drinking for now. Could you explain what's going on and if there's any medicine I could take for this?

I've been vomiting blood for the last two days and it's really got me worried. I've been dealing with ulcerative colitis for about six years now, and I'm not sure if it's related. Could these two things be connected? What should I do?
