I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She had typhoid a week ago and was on Levolab 500 mg for those 7 days. Her fever went away after just 3 days, which is good, but she's still feeling super weak. And now she's been having trouble going to the bathroom, like she hasnt had a bowel movement in 3 days, though her urine seems normal. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect after typhoid? What can we do to help with the bowel issues?
Vertigo and Dizziness: Addressing Long-Term Symptoms and Recent Exacerbation_ I understand your concern for the individual's prolonged struggle with vertigo and dizziness. Given the current treatment regimen and recent exacerbation, here are some suggestions: _Possible Causes of Exacerbation:_ 1. _Inadequate medication dosage_: The current dosage of Stugeron and Dytor might not be sufficient to control symptoms. 2. _Medication tolerance_: Long-term use of Stugeron might lead to tolerance, reducing its effectiveness. 3. _Underlying condition progression_: The underlying condition causing vertigo and dizziness might have progressed, requiring adjustments to the treatment plan. _Recommendations:_ 1. _Consult a specialist_: Schedule an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, a neurologist, or a vestibular specialist to reassess the condition and adjust the treatment plan. 2. _Medication adjustments_: The specialist might recommend adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications, such as betahistine or vestibular suppressants. 3. _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)*: A physical therapist specializing in VRT can help the individual develop exercises to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms. 4. _Lifestyle modifications*: Encourage the individual to make lifestyle changes, such as: - Avoiding triggers like caffeine, nicotine, or certain foods - Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule - Engaging in regular exercise, like yoga or tai chi, to improve balance and reduce stress _Monitor and Seek Immediate Medical Attention if:_ 1. _Sudden worsening of symptoms_ 2. _Severe vomiting or inability to keep fluids down_ 3. _Double vision or difficulty speaking_ 4. _Severe headache or confusion_

I'm really concerned about this report I got that mentions "fatty liver" and says something about "parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous." Could you explain what these terms mean and if they're something I should be worried about? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it and just need a bit of clarity on how serious this might be.
The medical term "fatty liver and parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous" indicates that your liver has accumulated excess fat and its tissue structure appears irregular and non-uniform on ultrasound imaging, which may suggest a condition like hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss the diagnosis, potential causes, and appropriate treatment plan.

I have an 11.1 mm stone in my gallbladder and really don't want surgery since I have a small baby to care for. Are there any natural ways to remove it or manage it without going under the knife?
I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through
