I had jaundice about a month ago, and my bilirubin levels were at 9.02 at the highest. How long should I wait before I can safely drink alcohol again? I'm really concerned about my liver and would love to hear your advice.

-Its best to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after jaundice to give your liver time to recover fully. Since your bilirubin was significantly elevated, consult your doctor to confirm liver function has normalized before drinking.

View allMy dad has been feeling nauseous and vomiting all day but his sonography and CT scan came back normal. His creatinine is 1.92 and endoscopy showed acid reflux. He has a pacemaker from 2014 and had bypass surgery in 2008. Right now his cardiologist has him on three meds for acid reflux Zofer, Rantac 300, and Pantocid. Is this the right treatment or should one of Rantac or Pantocid be stopped? Could there be a better option?
In this case, nausea and reflux may be related to kidney function or meds. Zofer (ondansetron) is okay short term. Only one PPI (Pantocid) is usually needed—consult for drug interaction review.

I've been dealing with hemorrhoids, but my last doctor said they were low grade. Lately, they've flared up a bit, and I've been feeling constantly tired and weak, sometimes even a little sick. I do feel better after a good bathroom trip, but there's no blood in my stool. Can hemorrhoids cause these kinds of symptoms, and what should I do about it? At what point do you think I should go back to the doctor for another check-up?
Incomplete bowel movements can lead to uneasiness and a sickly feeling. A consult with a general surgeon will help determine the extent of your hemorrhoids, and thereafter determine what kind of treatment will be suitable for you. You may require corticosteroid ointments with laxatives, or even surgical intervention. Lifestyle modifications which may help you include a high fibre diet, natural laxatives to help bowel movement, regular exercise to promote gastric motility, maintenance of a healthy BMI, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.

I'm noticing mucus sometimes even without any stool. It's got me a bit worried, especially since there's occasionally a little blood. Could my weight of 94kgs or something related to my digestion be causing this issue?
it may be due to infection or some biochemical abnormality do stool culture examination
