My mom started having SUDDEN severe abdominal pain and bile vomiting  and after it doesn't resolved of its own , we with no health insurance visited a small healthcare facility 1) Ultrasound : Fatty Liver, Mild Ascites, Left sided Minimal pleural effusion  and PROMINENT BOWEL LOOPS WITH LUMINAL CONTENTS AND REDUCED PERISTALSIS ~ Acute Bowel Obstruction LFT,KFT,CBC,LIPASE,AMYLASE were all good. She had ultrasound after 24 Years. 2) She was on IV Fluids for 24 Hours thank god her pain subsided and She passed gas , we got discharged in next 24 hours It's been 3 days home she is having very little food  like 1/5 of what she ate day before incident. Physician here isn't concerned much~ says it will improve in a week or so . Recently googling ascites I am afraid and doctor here says MILD ASCITES is not a problem what to do?

Mild ascites can happen because of many causes. An infectious large bowel or a loop of small intestine when infected, may cause these symptoms. A good Antibiotic regimen with Proper follow up will slowly improve her condition, if the cause is infection. Her diet improvement should occur slowly, not immediately. If there is no pain, no vomiting, and no other new symptoms, then you can observe her for another 3-4 days. If pain/vomiting is still present, consult a gastroenterologist to find out the real reason and extent of problems. Googling the symptoms will only frighten you. Be away from that.
