Can I kiss after boyfriend had Norovirus 8 days ago?
My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?

Norovirus is a bug. It can make your stomach feel bad. After it goes away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be safe. Washing hands well stops the spread.

I am having severe pain in my lower left and my lower right abdomen and it’s moving to my lower back
Male | 20
You may have some issues with your kidneys or your urinary system. The pain in your lower abdomen and back might indicate a kidney infection or kidney stones which are the probable causes. Other symptoms to watch for are a frequent need to pee, burning when you go, or cloudy urine. It is unlikely to go away by itself and you should drink a lot of water and visit a gastroenterologist as soon as possible to make sure it is checked.

Stomach ache since 2 days ant tlc count 11100 as per reports
Female | 28
Stomach aches are possible due to numerous causes. So when you have 11100 TLC, it indicates the possibility of a certain infection in your body that the immune system fights against, which makes your stomach ache. Be sure to consume enough liquids, and light foods, and sleep well. When the pain doesn't go away or worsen, go to a gastroenterologist for treatment.

I also tend to pass urine often, but in less quantity. the pain also sometimes can be observed in the middle part below the belly button. Also feel dizzy, weak and feel lower back ache when pressed.
Female | 23
You may be having a urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection. These make you pee often but little pee comes out. They also cause pain in your lower right belly, dizziness, weakness, and low back pain. It is very important to drink lots of water and see a urologist.

My niece's stool occult blood test is positive and sigmoid colon is thickening at acute stage
Female | 7 month
Blood hidden in poop is occult blood. A swollen part of the sigmoid colon needs treatment fast. Look out for stomach pains, changes in how you poo, or losing weight. Infections, inflammation, or growths may be the problem. Doctors must do more tests to find the reason. Then you'll get medicine or surgery.

Stomach pain after eating anything
Male | 32
Stomach aches after eating could signal various issues. Perhaps gastritis - inflamed stomach lining. Or acid reflux, ulcers, food intolerances. Look for bloating, nausea, and heartburn too. Eat smaller meals frequently. Avoid spicy, fatty foods. Drink plenty of fluids. If pain continues, see a gastroenterologist. They'll examine you thoroughly.

Hello, here rupa and my problem is im suffering from GERD problem how to rid from this problem ,and how many time does it take to control my acidity. What is the medicine?
Female | 30
You have GERD, where stomach acid goes back into the food pipe and causes discomfort. Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, and a sore throat. To reduce the intensity you may use smaller quantities of food. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors also affect stomach acids, so when needed, these medications are advised to be taken. Determining the right course of action may be lengthy and difficult for you. But with your commitment and those new lifestyle changes, you may feel many improvements.

Male | 23
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to fibrosis, which is the scaring of the liver. Healthy weight loss through diet and exercise can play a key role in the liver's health. The liver is capable of some self-repair, but the damage from serious scarring is probably not going to be reversed completely. Following your doctor's advice, taking your medication, and lifestyle changes to support your liver health are essential.

Female | 45
Some people experience nausea, heartburn, and stomach cramps after eating. This discomfort is indigestion. It happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. Causes include eating too fast, or consuming fatty or spicy foods. To get relief, eat slowly. Stay away from foods that trigger symptoms. You can also visit a gastroenterologist.

I am suffering from mild gastritis and have been adviced to take medicines for 4 weeks, can you tell what diet should I have in these 4 months. I am shifting to a hostel, I need to take care of what things over there ?
Female | 23
If you're suffering from mild gastritis and prescribed medication for four weeks, it's important to follow a bland diet. Avoid spicy, oily foods, and opt for easily digestible meals like khichdi, yogurt, and boiled vegetables. Consult a gastroenterologist for personalized dietary advice and monitor your symptoms closely during this period.

Hi iam 23years old girl suffering from belches all the time whether I eat or not no matter what I do all the time iam getting belches.
Female | 23
Burping, or belching, can happen when you swallow too much air. This may occur if you eat too quickly, chew gum, or drink fizzy beverages. Sometimes, belching results from acid reflux - stomach acid rising into your throat. To reduce belching, try these tips: Eat slowly. Avoid carbonated drinks. Don't talk while eating. If belching persists, consult a gastroenterologist to identify potential underlying causes.

Male | 31
You've had such a bad time with fever and diarrhea. Both could be the cause of your weakness later. The fever and the diarrhea ached your body thus, making you feel tired. You must hydrate yourself with water and soup. Light and easily digestible meals should be your priority.

I am 34. I am male. Blood is coming out of the toilet door because my bowels are hard. It has been going on for two or three days. No pain.
Male | 35
It appears as though you are encountering bowel difficulties. When the poop contains blood, even if there is no pain, it is abnormal. This may occur when the bowels are firm due to insufficient water consumption or fiber intake. You can attempt to soften your stool by drinking a lot of water and consuming more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If the problem persists, schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist for a check-up.

Today i ate small piece of finger nail with food does it cause any problem or it will dissolve.. I'm confused what to do please help
Female | 24
Don’t freak out if you accidentally swallow a little piece of fingernail. It’s not a big deal for your body – it can handle stuff like that. If it’s tiny, it’ll probably go through without causing any problems. Drink lots of water though – this will help it move along easily. And if you start hurting anywhere or feeling sick or notice anything strange then definitely talk to a gastroenterologist.

im 17 years old, i have this stomach ache in the morning yesterday even right now. I try to eat and poop but still it hurts even also when im laying on bed and sitting down. how can i avoid this pain what should i do and dont?
Female | 17
There are a lot of things that can give someone a stomach ache - like eating too much, eating spicy food, or being nervous. Try eating smaller meals more often instead of three big ones. Keep away from spicy foods entirely and make sure to drink plenty of fluids every day. Don't lie down right after you eat something either. If the pain sticks around after doing all these things, go to a gastroenterologist for a check-up.
