Can I take Sporlac DS and Pantop 40 at the same time? I'm a bit concerned and would love to know if there's any issue taking them together. Would really appreciate your advice on this.

View allI was diagnosed with an 11mm gall bladder stone last year and currently can't get surgery because of covid. Are there any medicines that can help dissolve the stone or at least manage the pain and vomiting until I can get the operation
Gallstones can sometimes be managed with ursodeoxycholic acid; however, surgery is the definitive treatment once symptoms appear.

I recently found out that I have grade 2 fatty liver, and it's really worrying me. I'm someone who doesn't drink alcohol at all, so I'm confused about how this happened. Is there a way to reverse this condition, and what steps should I take to do so?
Grade 2 fatty liver can be reversible with lifestyle changes. You should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight loss if needed. Avoiding alcohol is important. You can also consider medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to help improve liver function. It is important to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and guidance.

I've been having this pain on both sides when I breathe deep, and sometimes even with normal breathing, for a long time now. Its been going on for about 10 years, especially on the left side of my rib. Breathing feels difficult now and then, but theres no wheezing, just some snoring. I dont feel overly sleepy during the day, but I've been having some ongoing gastric issues. Theres been no weight loss or loss of appetite. My chest was checked and cleared by a pulmonologist, and my echo test was all good according to the cardiologist. My blood pressure is normal too. Is there something else I should be looking into or considering?
Considering your symptoms and medical history, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or inflammation in the chest area. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol and skeletal muscle relaxants such as baclofen or chlorzoxazone
