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.

I'm dealing with some loose motions right now, and I'm really worried because I have a competition tomorrow. Is there any way to fix this in just one day?

Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone)*: A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils. 2. *Mucous Cyst*: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat. 3. *Follicular Hyperplasia*: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Gargling with Salt Water*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris. 2. *Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue. 3. *Staying Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

I've been told to take Vsl 3 and Econorm once daily for a month. Is it okay if I take them in the afternoon with a 10-minute gap between them? I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing it right!
