I'm a bit concerned about my liver test results. My SGPT is showing 73, but my SGOT is within the normal range. The SGOTSGPT ratio is 0.47. Should I be worried about this? Everything else seems normal in my tests, but I'm not sure if these liver enzyme levels are problematic. Can you help me understand if this is something to be concerned about?

Get a prescription for oral antifungal medications like fluconazole or itraconazole.
Consider using a combination of topical and oral antifungal medications.
Maintain good hygiene, wear loose clothing, and avoid sharing personal items.
Apply a topical cream like clotrimazole or miconazole, as prescribed by your doctor.
Seek immediate medical attention if the infection worsens or spreads further.

View allI've been experiencing really bad pain during bowel movements, and it lasts for hours afterward. There's no blood in my stool, but it always feels like a pinching sensation inside and there's also itching around my rectum. Can you suggest the best remedy for this?
Loose motions with sour burps can be uncomfortable and concerning. Given your symptoms, it's possible that you're experiencing: _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gastroenteritis_: A viral or bacterial infection that causes stomach inflammation, leading to loose motions and sour burps. 2. _Acid reflux_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing sour burps and discomfort. 3. _Food poisoning_: Consuming contaminated food or drinks, leading to stomach upset and loose motions. _Complications to Watch Out For_ 1. _Dehydration_: Excessive loose motions can lead to dehydration, especially if you're not drinking enough fluids. 2. _Electrolyte imbalance_: Loss of essential electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and chloride can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and heart problems. 3. _Persistent stomach pain_: If stomach pain persists or worsens, it may indicate a more serious underlying condition. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. _Bland diet_: Stick to a bland diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) to help firm up your stool. 3. _Over-the-counter medications_: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate sour burps. 4. _Consult a doctor_: If your symptoms persist, worsen, or you experience any of the following: - Severe stomach pain - Vomiting blood or black tarry stools - Fever above 101.5F (38.6C) - Signs of dehydration (excessive thirst, dark urine, dizziness)

I'm dealing with this really annoying issue where I seem to burp more than 50 times a day. It's like every time I eat, I burp a bunch of times and even when I'm not eating, it happens like 23 times an hour. I'm just trying to understand what's going on. What could be causing so much burping?

I had a tonsillectomy about a month back, and ever since, I've been dealing with constant acid reflux. There's this acidic liquid that seems to keep coming up into my mouth, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. Could this be related to having my tonsils removed? What should I do about it?
It is possible that your acid reflux symptoms are related to your recent tonsillectomy. The condition is known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and can occur after throat surgeries like tonsillectomy. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for relief. It is important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
