I'm dealing with a fatty liver grade 1 situation and I'm really worried about whether it's a serious condition or not. Can you tell me what it actually means and what the diagnosis involves?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fatty liver grade 1 is a mild form of fatty liver disease where fat accumulates in the liver cells. While its generally not considered serious at this stage, it is important to manage it through lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise to prevent progression to more severe liver conditions.

View allMy mom has been experiencing a really dry throat and dry coughing whenever she lies down to sleep after meals, you know, like after lunch or dinner. It's been happening about half an hour after she lies down. She doesn't have any chest burning or gas, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. If she drinks some water, it seems to help temporarily, but then the dryness and coughing come back after a while. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening and what we can do about it?
Your mother may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The lying down position after meals can cause stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, leading to dry throat and coughing. To help alleviate these symptoms, I recommend she try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids after meals. Additionally, she can try elevating the head of her bed while sleeping to prevent acid reflux at night. If symptoms persist, she should consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

My 57-year-old uncle's ultrasound showed a few small 2mm echogenic foci in his gallbladder sludge or small calculi. Can this be managed with meds or does he need surgery?
For small gallbladder sludge or calculi (stones) less than 5mm, treatment often involves watchful waiting and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is generally not needed unless the sludge or stones cause symptoms or complications like bile duct blockage.
