I recently had an ultrasound and found out that my spleen is mildly enlarged at 12.63 cm without any focal lesion. I'm 5.8 ft tall and weigh 83 kgs. Also, I was COVID positive earlier. Right now, my total bilirubin level is 1.3 mgdl and my direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and my RBC count is 4.4 ul. Could you help me understand what all this might mean and what steps I should take? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.

View allI'm having a really difficult time since I've noticed that I can only get one finger in my mouth, and it's become uncomfortable to eat anything spicy or drink hot milk. It's been a month since I stopped using pan masala, so I'm wondering if there's a connection or if there's anything I can do to solve this problem. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I have a 7mm gallstone can it be treated with udiliv 300 or is surgery necessary for this size? What would you recommend?
For a 7mm gallstone, surgery is often recommended as the first-line treatment due to the relatively low chance of it passing naturally and the potential for complications. Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) can be used to dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, but its effectiveness is limited and may take months or years.

I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?
Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.
