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.

I've been having liquid stools and a fever since last night. I took some Roko and Crocin, but they didn't seem to help. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I try something different to feel better?

The sudden onset of loose motions with liquid stool and fever, unresponsive to Roko and Crocin, suggests a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning; stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, like oral rehydration solutions (ORS), coconut water, or clear broths; consider taking anti-diarrheal medications like Loperamide
