I had large intestine surgery a month ago because of some perforations they removed part of it and reconnected it. I usually smoke shisha or hookah just for fun without inhaling. Is it safe for me to do that now?

After large intestine surgery, it’s best to avoid shisha or hookah, even if not inhaled, as the smoke and carbon monoxide can affect healing and overall bowel function.

I've got an sgpt level of 56, and it seems like all the other tests in my master check-up came back normal. Should I be worried about this? My doctor mentioned that I don't need any medication for the increased sgpt level, but I'd like to understand if there's anything else I should be considering.
An SGPT level of 56 is slightly elevated, but your doctor's reassurance suggests it's likely not a cause for concern; mildly elevated SGPT can be due to various factors like fatty liver, muscle damage, or alcohol consumption; since your other test results are normal, your doctor may recommend monitoring your SGPT levels periodically and making lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol intake, to help bring your SGPT levels back to normal.

I've been feeling something like a lump in my throat since I had COVID back in August. It's been almost 5 months now, and it's not going away. Sometimes it gets so bad that it makes me feel breathless. My general physician said it's acid reflux and suggested taking Rabium DSR on an empty stomach for 10 days, but I haven't seen any improvement. Can you recommend any other medications or solutions? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what else might help.
