1. Difficulty Swallowing

"If you experience continuous difficulty swallowing (disphagia) accompanied by the appearance of lumps in the throat, frequent pain or swelling in the same area, immediately consult a gastroenterology specialist, yes!"

Difficulty swallowing can be a sign of a serious condition. This can be caused by damage due to acid reflux in the esophagus, weakened muscles, wounds, or narrowing in the same area. So if you experience these symptoms, do not hesitate to seek medical help.

2. Feeling Pain in the Upper Abdomen

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The sensation of burning in the chest is often caused by the rise of stomach acid into the esophagus or GERD. This condition can be caused by several factors, such as alcohol consumption, spicy food, carbonated drinks, fried food, and smoking."

Therefore, it is important to consult with a digestive specialist doctor immediately to evaluate and receive further treatment.

The possibility of serious digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, gallstones, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) could be the cause.

Diarrhea is a condition in which the feces that are expelled are in liquid form. It generally lasts for a short period and recovers within 1-2 days. The causes vary, ranging from excessive caffeine consumption, drinking unhygienic water, to eating spicy food.

Please consult with a gastroenterologist immediately, especially if you experience dehydration, black or hard stools, severe abdominal or rectal pain, high fever, or if you have pus or blood in your stools."
