I'm dealing with jaundice and my levels are at 7.5 points. My eyes have turned completely red, and I've developed a skin rash that's incredibly itchy. When I rub the rash, it leaves behind this white skin dust. Could you give me some advice on how to treat this? I'm really worried.

My sister has been dealing with dengue and fever for about six days now. Her blood test showed her SGPT level is at 432.80 and SGOT is 551.30. I'm really concerned about what this could mean. Could you explain the implications of these levels and any way we might be able to bring them down?

I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?
