I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

So my mom, Karthiyayani, went to your clinic on the 9th because she had this stomach pain after taking the Duvanta tablet at night. You originally prescribed Palmigas, Duvanta, Gpital, and Pan D. She didn't take the Pan D at night like you instructed, only in the morning. We're just a bit worried since your clinic isn't open on Sundays, and wanted to ask if she should keep taking these meds or not.
Karthiyayani should continue the prescribed medicines: Medicines to Continue 1. Palmigas 2. Duvanta (as directed) 3. Gpital (as directed) Next Steps 1. Monitor stomach pain and report any worsening. 2. Follow dosage instructions. 3. Schedule a follow-up appointment for Monday or earliest available time. Please confirm her condition improves or worsens. If concerns arise, contact the clinic or on-call doctor.
