I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Niftas 100 mg tablets for her urinary tract infection, and even though she doesn't have any pain in her abdomen, the pain still hasn't gone away after finishing the medicine. Her doctor told her to keep taking the tablets for another two months, but every time she takes them, she gets a really bad fever. Does this sound like a normal side effect of the medicine? And is there more we can do besides drinking 3 liters of water every day like the doctor suggested? Any advice would be great because we're a bit confused about what's happening.
Niftas 100 mg tablet contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). _Fever as a Side Effect_ Fever is not a common side effect of Nitrofurantoin. However, it can occur in rare cases. If your mom experiences severe fever, it's essential to consult her doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. _UTI Treatment and Prevention_ 1. _Complete the antibiotic course_: Ensure your mom completes the 2-month antibiotic course as prescribed by her doctor. 2. _Drink plenty of water_: Continue drinking 3 liters of water daily to help flush out bacteria. 3. _Urinate when needed_: Encourage your mom to urinate when she feels the need, rather than holding it in. 4. _Wipe correctly_: Teach your mom to wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from entering the urethra. 5. _Avoid irritants_: Avoid using scented soaps, bubble baths, or douches, as they can irritate the urethra. 6. _Consider a urine culture test_: If UTI symptoms persist, consider a urine culture test to identify the underlying cause and adjust treatment accordingly. _Alternative Solutions_ 1. _Cranberry juice or supplements_: Cranberry products may help prevent UTIs by preventing bacterial adhesion. 2. _Probiotics_: Probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which can aid in preventing UTIs. 3. _Heat or cold therapy_: Applying heat or cold packs to the lower abdomen may help alleviate discomfort.

I'm dealing with a phimosis issue that I've had since birth. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I consider steroids or is surgery the better option? I'm based in Bangalore, so any local recommendations would be great too. What would you suggest?
Elevated SGOT (120) and SGPT (222) levels indicate liver stress, likely exacerbated by alcohol consumption. To reduce liver enzyme levels: Abstain from alcohol completely. Consider medications like: Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation. Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance and monitoring.
