Our baby is only 4 months old, so surgery isn't an option right now we're planning for May when our older son is on break. What can we do to stop the bleeding until then? It's happening way too often and we're really worried

I'm curious about something I've been feeling recently. Whenever I drink water, I can actually feel it moving down through my chest, and there's this cool sensation that accompanies it. Swallowing isn't an issue, but I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is normal. Can you help me understand this?

I've been dealing with loose motions for a while now. I started taking Eldoper for around 10 days, and it seemed to help, but now that I've stopped the medicine, the loose motions are back, and my stomach is making these weird noises too. What could be going on here?

The loose motion and stomach noise after taking Eldoper (likely an antibiotic) for 10 days, and the persistence of symptoms after stopping the medication, suggest antibiotic-associated diarrhea or a potential gut microbiome imbalance; consider consulting your doctor about probiotics, dietary changes, or further evaluation to rule out underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
