My dad, who is 58, had a fever about 9 days ago but got better after we took him to the doctor. But heres the thinghes had these really persistent hiccups for the last 7 days. At first, they just wouldn't stop. Weve been giving him coconut water and cold water which seems to help calm them down a bit, but they keep coming back. He's also on a light diet. We're worried about what this could mean. Is this something serious? Can you suggest any remedies or next steps?

My mom had a USG for her upper abdomen and has been having pain in her right shoulder and chest every 34 days. Could this be managed with medications or would she need surgery?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been dealing with bleeding piles and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe for me to use lactulose solution? Could it have any effects on my baby?

Lactulose solution is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, as it is not absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore unlikely to pass into breastmilk
