Question 1

I'm really worried about my friend who's been on TB meds for about 20 days now. Suddenly, he started having nonstop vomiting, can't eat or drink, and is super dehydrated. The doctor suggested stopping his TB pills for a week. They're giving him Taxim injections for the next 5 to 6 days along with some other injections. Do you think this break in TB treatment is something we should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is the side-effects of anti-tubercular therapy. Pls continue inj taxim for 5 days.Post antibiotic course ATT can be started .

Question 2

I'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?

Accepted Answer

SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes.
A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly.
There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis.
LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.

Question 3

I'm experiencing a burning sensation on the right side of my abdomen, and my bowel movements aren't clear. I've also been feeling feverish, dealing with headaches, and having gas issues for about a month now. These symptoms keep coming and going. I have hypothyroidism and I'm currently taking RabletD and thyroxine. Could these be related, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux, which can be common in individuals with hypothyroidism. To help with the burning sensation in your right side abdomen, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Rabeprazole (brand name: Rabicip) along with domperidone (brand name: Domstal) for better relief. Additionally, for your gas problem, you can take simethicone (brand name: Colicaid) to help alleviate symptoms. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet, avoid spicy and acidic foods, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
