I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach pain and loose motions since yesterday. The loose motions have stopped since last night, but the stomach pain is still there, and I'm experiencing a lot of gas. I tried taking Ocid 20 and Pudin Hara, but they didn't help. I even ate some dahi, but that didn't do anything either. Could you please suggest any medicine that might help with the stomach pain and stop the excessive farting?
no problem u use

My friend had an endoscopy last week and they found a small hiatal hernia with some LAK lesions. They've been dealing with gastric issues for 3 years now antacids haven't helped at all. Is this something that can improve with meditation or lifestyle changes, or is surgery the only option? How serious is this condition?
A small hiatal hernia, especially with some LAK lesions (likely meaning low-grade acute inflammation), may be managed with lifestyle changes and medication, and surgery isn't always the first option. While antacids might not have been effective, other treatments like H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors could be helpful. Meditation and lifestyle adjustments, such as weight management, can also help manage symptoms.

I'm really worried about my jaundice, especially with my bilirubin levels at 15.3. I'm trying to figure out what foods are best for a faster recovery. Are things like eggs, bananas, bread, and roti okay to eat? And what foods should I stay away from? Also, I'm curious about which vegetables are safe for someone dealing with jaundice. Can you help me out?
To aid in faster recovery from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15.3, it is important to focus on a well-balanced diet. Foods that are beneficial for jaundice recovery include those that are easy to digest and provide essential nutrients. It is recommended to consume foods that are high in antioxidants, such as fruits like papaya, apples, and pomegranate. Vegetables like spinach, carrots, and bottle gourd are also beneficial. Additionally, including whole grains like rice and oats in the diet can provide energy and aid in recovery. It is advisable to avoid fatty and fried foods, as well as spicy and processed foods, as they can be harder to digest and may put additional strain on the liver. It is best to avoid eggs, as they are high in fat and cholesterol. Bananas can be consumed in moderation, as they are easy to digest and provide potassium. Bread and roti can be included in the diet, but it is important to choose whole grain options for added nutritional benefits. Overall, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while avoiding fatty and processed foods, can support the recovery process for a jaundice patient with a bilirubin level of 15.3.
