I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My mom ate at a party last night and started throwing up with really bad watery diarrhea afterward. She's also feeling super weak and dizzy. What medicine should we give her and in what dose?
You can give her oral rehydration solution (ORS) to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, you can give her Loperamide at a dose of 2mg to help with the loose motions. If she is still feeling nauseous, you can give her Ondansetron at a dose of 4mg orally, dissolved on the tongue, up to three times a day. However, it is important to monitor her symptoms and if there is no improvement or if she gets worse, please seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with this weird feeling where my stomach always feels full, and I'm having shortness of breath. It's almost like there's something in my chest making it hard for it to relax and contract properly. Plus, my weight keeps going up and down really quickly for no apparent reason. Any idea what's going on?
