I'm dealing with diabetes and have been experiencing some itching around my anus for about two weeks now. I took 400 mg of albendazole last night, suspecting it might be pinworms causing this. How long should I expect it to take for the symptoms to improve if pinworms are the issue?

I was diagnosed with jaundice a few months back, and Im wondering if it's okay to start taking Himalaya Liv 52 now without checking with my doctor first. Could this help my liver recover, or should I be cautious about any risks?

It is generally safe to take Himalaya Liv 52 as a liver support supplement, even if you have a history of jaundice. The recommended dosage for Himalaya Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice a day. However, it is always best to consult with your general physician before starting any new medication or supplement, especially if you have a history of jaundice.

I'm feeling pretty nervous lately, and I'm not sure why. About a week ago, I went to a gastro specialist because I was really bloated. I noticed the bloating happens whenever I have dairy products, which is still an issue now. I've attached my blood test results, and they show that my LDL and NON-HDL levels are high. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take?

From your blood test results showing high LDL and NON HDL levels, along with your symptoms of bloating and nervousness, it is important to address your cholesterol levels and digestive issues. To lower your LDL and NON HDL levels, I recommend starting a medication called Atorvastatin. Additionally, since you are experiencing bloating with dairy products, you can try taking a lactase enzyme supplement like Lactaid before consuming dairy to help with digestion. It is also advisable to follow a low-cholesterol diet and engage in regular physical activity to improve your overall health. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.
