Question

I'm dealing with an ulcer that's been bothering me for the past 24 days. Can you let me know how often I should be using Dologel each day? I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing it right.

Dologel should be applied directly to the affected area using a clean fingertip. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of Dologel over the ulcer 3-4 times a day, after meals and at bedtime. Make sure not to eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after applying Dologel to allow it to properly adhere to the ulcer and provide relief.

Question

I'm feeling really tired and weak after I have a bowel movement, like my whole body is worn out and my knees hurt. It usually gets better once I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I'm missing in my diet or routine?

Question

I've been struggling with this issue for a while now and it's really worrying me. So, a couple of years ago, I had loose motions because of the water and I took Norflox Tz. It helped, but after finishing the course, I ended up with really bad constipation and bleeding which caused fissures. I've been trying probiotic milk, it's helped a bit, but the bleeding hasn't really gone away. Now it's been two years, and even though I eat healthy and drink lots of water, I'm still dealing with this. Is there a way to fix this, or could it be permanent?

Question

I'm dealing with a viral fever that's been going on for around 12 days now, and I just did an LFT test which showed my SGPT and SGOT levels are really high, like 230. I'm worried if this is serious or something that I can get under control. How do I manage these elevated levels and get some relief as they've been rising every day? Can you guide me on what steps to take?
