Question 1

I've been feeling this weird movement in my lower abdomen for the past 67 months. It feels like a fast expansion and contraction, kinda like my heart is beating in my stomach, happening 3 or 4 times in a row and then again after a few hours. It's even visible if I look at my abdomen. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It's normal peristaltic movement of our gut which can be seen in some people.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medic...

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

Question 3

My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?

Accepted Answer

You can mix 10 ml of Lactihep Plus in about half a glass of water (around 100-150 ml) and drink it. Follow it up with plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help with stool softening.

Question 4

I've been dealing with this cough for a month now, and my doctor suggested checking my IgE levels. My IgE is at 2463, and I'm a bit worried. What does having high IgE levels mean?

Accepted Answer

Higher amounts of IgE can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens which can lead to an allergic reaction  according to your history.
But can also be high in case of parasitic infection
