I've had bloating and nausea for the past 12 days. I've had a stomach x-ray and a CT scan which were both negative. I'm not constipated. Yet, my stomach is bloated and I'm nauseous. I'm 74 years old. I've been taking ondansetron every 8 hours for the nausea. I'm on several medications including levothyroxine, atorvastatin, citalopram, anastrozole, losartan, donepezil, cevimeline, dicyclomine, and omeprazole. I've been on these medications for years without side effects. I also have a history of IBS and have been on medications for it. Do I need to be on different medications for IBS? I thought that some of my medications were for that.

I have been dealing with pilonidal sinus for around a year and trying to avoid surgery. Whenever it is inflamed, it causes pain, bleeding, mild fever, body aches, and tiredness. Should I get it surgically removed, and how can I ensure it won't come back? Is it possible to get pain and fever when it is inflamed?
