Question

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

Question

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its own? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some insight.

Question

I recently had an LFT done and I'm a bit concerned about the results. My AST (SGOT) is at 174 UL, my ALT (SGPT) at 296 UL, and GGTP at 46 UL, although all other LFT results are normal. Can you help me understand what might be causing these elevated levels and suggest what kind of treatment I should consider? Also, would a general physician be enough for this, or should I see a liver specialist?
