I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

My dad is having loose motion and vomiting right now, and it all seemed to kick in at the same time. It's really late, and we don't have any medicine at home, plus all the pharmacies are closed. Do you know of any home remedies that might help him feel better?

For loose motion and vomiting, you can try giving your father oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can make ORS at home by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Make sure he drinks plenty of this solution to stay hydrated. Please consult a doctor in the morning for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with jaundice and I'm a bit concerned. My total bilirubin level was 4.1 mgdl about 20 days ago, and now it's down to 0.89 mgdl according to today's report. Does this mean everything's fine now? My urine and the whites of my eyes still don't look normal. What should I do at this point, and is there a specific diet chart I should follow?

don't worry it takes time to come to normal

My vitamin B12 level has been at 138 for the past two years and I'm having bowel movements three times a day. I've already tried taking Vitcofol injections, five doses of 2 ml, but didn't notice any improvement. I recently heard about Metacobalamin tablets and was wondering if I should try them. What's the right dosage? Is there another treatment that might help?
