Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs

My 4.5-year-old son has been suffering from loose motion (2–4 times/day), vomiting (1–2 times/day), occasional middle chest pain, low appetite, and mild weakness for the past 3 days. He’s been prescribed Lanspro 15 (empty stomach), Aglozyme C (twice daily after food), Regutol Mini (once daily), and ORS. However, there’s little improvement, and symptoms persist—especially loose stool and chest discomfort. Could this be a viral infection or food-related issue? Should we consider any change in medication or further investigation? Kindly suggest the next steps for diagnosis or relief. Thank you.

Hello, I got my colonoscopy done in 2023 july month and the reason behind getting that done. Is because of calprotectin levels coming to 567 mcg/gm I immediately went to my gastroenterologist and get the colonoscopy done the next day. Colonoscopy report attached along with biopsy report as well. After biopsy report doctor told me it was due to infection in intestine and he prescribed me rifagut for 2 weeks. I followed the prescription and after a month I repeated the calprotectin test and it was normal. This was in August 2023. So from that month to may 2025 I have done 4-5 calprotectin test reports and all were coming normal only and I consulted everytime to a gastroenterologist for those reports and everyone told me my issue is IBS only. Symptoms are of abdomen discomfort, stool type changes sometimes. No blood in stool as I have done occult blood test as well everytime I do calprotectin test. I have anxiety and overthinking issues which is very much from past 1.5 years.

I have pain radiating to both my legs from 3 months. I have L4, L5-S1 disc bulge, and recently I’ve been experiencing hand pain, particularly in the morning after waking up. The pain feels pinching and shifts between wrist and fingers, resembling a nerve-related discomfort. However, NCV tests of all four limbs came back normal, and Vitamin B12 levels are also normal. I wanted to ask: 1. Could this hand pain be connected to the L5-S1 disc bulge, or is it likely a separate issue? 2. How long does such nerve-related recovery typically take, assuming it’s posture-related or due to inflammation?

I had a complete eye check-up 1–2 months ago with an ophthalmologist, including a retina exam, and everything was normal. Lately, I'm facing blurry or unfocused vision while wearing my specs, especially while using screens. I need to consciously focus my eyes to see clearly. Without specs, I can see nearby objects clearly but not distant ones. I also experience light sensitivity — bright lights, screens, and headlights often cause discomfort and even headaches. I feel it may be related to digital eye strain or photophobia or migraine. My glasses are from Vision Express. Could this be due to screen exposure, or something else? I have amblyopia in one eye. Kindly advise.

My son is 7.5 months old.He has developed small red bumps on his neck and upper chest area (please see the attached photos). The rash looks like tiny red spots, and it started appearing recently. He doesn’t have a fever or major discomfort, but I'm a bit concerned. We try to keep him cool and dry, and he’s otherwise feeding and sleeping normally. Could you please advise if this looks like a heat rash or something else? Also, do we need to apply any cream or medicine, or take any precautions?

My wife is 32 weeks pregnant with foetus weight 1.8kgs. Her Amniotic fluid index is 26.9 cm and cervix length is 12 mm. Bile acid is currently at 22 and LFT test numbers are also deranged. Her Fasting Glucose is around 90-93 which we monitor daily. How can we manage this situation if it goes to a preterm delivery. She currently has no discomfort or any other issues. It would be of great help if we can get advice on how to manage this with minimum risks. Thank you.

My father recently had his routine usg scan and we found a 78mm cyst on his left kidney. Though it's type 1 we are still a bit worried as the previous report (done in Aug 2024) didn't mention anything about the cyst and suddenly this time we found it. Can you kindly check the previous scan and let me know if it had the cyst in the scan and the radiologist somehow missed it? I'm attaching both the new and old scan pictures for your reference. He doesn't have any discomfort and he's on medication due to the residual urine issue.
