your alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are slightly higher than normal. These levels could show liver or bone problems. It would be necessary that you see a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to conduct further investigations and therapy.

Why do I feel food is stuck in my throat and feel pain when we swallow food during 30weeks pregnant
Female | 21
When you are pregnant, the feeling of food is caught in the throat and a sense of pain when swallowing it is most likely caused by acid reflux. It occurs when the stomach acid erupts back to the esophagus which could make you feel like food is stuck and also can cause pain. It leads to a sensation of being unable to swallow and a painful state. One method to relieve it is by eating less and avoiding spicy foods as well as standing or sitting for some time after a meal. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a gastroenterologist.

I got into a fight and was suffocating under someone's weight when I coughed up blood. After which, I ingested some harpic and it hurts my chest and near my stomach to swallow anything at all. This was 2 days ago. I weigh 60 kgs. I also get blurry vision sometimes although I'm unsure if its the trauma to my head or harpic.
Female | 17
You might have serious internal injuries. If you cough up any blood, have chest pain or trouble swallowing, or cannot see clearly, you should be concerned. Ingesting Harpic might have hurt your esophagus and stomach even more. Internal bleeding or other complications could be why these symptoms are occurring; therefore it is vital that you seek immediate medical attention.

Hi. I ate leftover food from last night for lunch. It was in the microwave last night and morning time I put it in the refrigerator. It didn't smell bad when I smelled it and it didn't make me sick when I ate it. But I was worried to much if I made a mistake eating it. So I forced myself to throw it out. Please advise ????
Female | 22
Consuming food that has been out of reach for a certain amount of time might result in food intoxication. The symptoms of food poisoning may include aches, discomfort, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. If there is no evidence of these symptoms after you eat the food, it's likely that your body didn’t react.

Female | 44
You seem to have a lot on your plate, but seeking help is a good thing that you are doing. Feeling nauseated and being unable to keep the food down is a common thing for many people and can be attributed to different reasons. In your case, the infection in your stomach lining may be the reason for these issues. Sometimes, treating the infection with antibiotics may take a longer time to work. It is very important to stay hydrated and get enough rest. If you are still having problems, it is necessary to follow up with your gastroenterologist.

I am suffering from IBS and losing my hair plz stop my hair fall I think it's nutrition observation problem
Male | 26
IBS and hair loss frustrate you. Hair loss with IBS could mean poor nutrient absorption. IBS brings stomach pain, bloating, and bowel habit shifts. Focus on diet rich in vitamins and minerals for hair growth: iron, zinc, and biotin. See a healthcare provider about supplements for nutrients.

I had pain in my stomach for a while
Female | 31
The pain in your stomach could be hard to handle. There are numerous explanations for why this might happen such as overeating, stress, or even a stomach virus. Besides the pain, you may also have bloating, nausea, or changes in your bowel movements. For example, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and drink water to help you feel better. If the pain is not going away, go to a gastroenterologist.

Redness after poo, too much pain and lump on anus
Male | 17
You might have an anal tear that could be the cause of this issue. It might result in redness, pain, and swelling. Increasing fluid intake and consuming high-fiber foods may aid in softening stools. Prevent straining while you use the toilet. A small, warm bath for your bottom is good to use too, as a means of healing. In case of constant pain, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Respectful Sir, When I eat spicy food a little,tongue gradually starts burning, and then runny nose and watery eyes occur.please advice me how to prevent it,Sir.
Male | 30
When you consume spicy foods, your tongue may feel like it's burning and inflamed as a result. Besides the tongue the nose gets along with tears releasing at the eyes. It is because spicy food provokes your whole body to make more mucus in your nose and eyes if you eat it. However, don't worry; you may be relieved this way by eating fewer hot foods or by mixing chilled milk or yogurt with spicy food to decrease hotness.

I am 19 yrs old and today I got tiny lump in my butt hole and yesterday I get chicken rice and got lose motion today and this lump and its discomfort and pain little ..any serious issue are it's normal
Female | 19
These signs might be caused by an illness known as an anal fissure, which is influenced by constipation or diarrhea. Spicy or greasy dishes can make it even worse. You can soak in warm water and keep the area clean. Moreover, it will also be beneficial for you to drink lots of water and consume high-fiber foods to avoid getting constipated. In case the condition continues or becomes severe, visit a gastroenterologist.

Vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain
Female | 18
Vomiting, diarrhea, and belly aches are never fun! These can be caused by infections, bad food, or even stress. Drink plenty of fluids, and stick to plain foods like crackers or rice. Get some rest. If the symptoms last more than a day or two, it's best to see a gastroenterologist to be safe.

She is 2years 7months old baby. She is facing constipation problem (3days / 2days once) the stole also very hard while coming out. She is very struggling because of it. Am giving spinach weekly thrice and giving vegetables daily in her meal. Apple everyday. She is not comfortable in chewing it and taking lot of time so am offering her in smoothy form.
Female | 2
Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

My mother of age 64 has problem in breathing while swallowing saliva ,eating spicy foods,etc and also sometimes for the smell of chillies while frying.what should we do as a first aid at that moment of time?
Female | 64
This could be because of a condition called dysphagia, which is the difficulty in passing food down the throat. She could opt for taking in smaller sizes and try her best to keep away from hot foods. Water is also another good option. In case the condition persists, she should visit a gastroenterologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Hlo ma'am mai 3 may ko unwanted 72 tablet Li thi aur kl se mere pet me drd h aur loose motions h kya kru
Female | 25
I understand you’re feeling sick after taking Unwanted 72. The pain in your stomach and diarrhea can be due to the side effects of the drug. This happens because it contains hormones that affect your body. Drink lots of water so that you don’t get dehydrated. Eat light meals such as bananas, rice, and bread. Take a rest and do not eat spicy or greasy foods. If the symptoms persist then please visit a gastroenterologist.

How is hep c spread? If I used a stick n poke needle with no blood
Female | 19
Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.

I have fecal and urinal incontinence (frequent and severe accidents during the day/night). I have tried to wear pull up diapers but they are not very effective in my case. What would you recommend or suggest?
Male | 21
Fecal and urinary incontinence can be caused by muscle weakness, nerve damage, or certain medical conditions. Instead of using pull-up diapers, consult a gastroenterologist to see if medications, pelvic floor exercises, or surgery may help. The right treatment can reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.
