I'm a bit confused about my test results. The report says "nonreactive" for both testsdoes that mean they're negative? So, does it confirm that both Hepatitis B and C are not present in my case?

A "non-reactive" result typically indicates that both Hepatitis B and C tests are negative

I've been dealing with some tough acidity and gas issues lately. I usually take a Topcid 40 tablet when this flares up, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it safe and effective for what I'm experiencing? Also, are there any tips you could give me to help avoid these problems in the future? And one more thing - between Topcid and Digene, which one is actually better for stuff like acidity or gas?

I'm having this issue where after I eat anything, my throat gets filled with phlegm and I struggle to breathe properly because my air flow feels blocked. Plus, I can't seem to burp at all after eating, which is really uncomfortable. It's getting particularly bad at night, making it really hard to sleep. I've also noticed that when I eat non-veg items, there's a lot of saliva that builds up all at once. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like acid reflux, sinusitis, or food allergies, and in the meantime, try antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or histamine-2 blockers, and avoid trigger foods, especially non-veg items, to alleviate severe phlegm and breathing difficulties.
