I'm dealing with ongoing dysentery and constipation issues and nothing I've tried is working. Spicy foods just make it worse by causing a lot of acid and more dysentery. Even meds like O2 aren't helping. I've started using Aloe Vera juice and green tea to see if it makes a difference. I'm feeling really weak and am losing weight. What else can I try or what should I do to improve my situation?

For chronic dysentery and constipation, you can try taking Loperamide (Imodium) for dysentery and a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) for constipation. In addition to Aloe Vera juice and green tea, you can also try probiotics like Align or Culturelle to help with your digestive issues. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet with plenty of fiber. If you continue to feel weak and lose weight, it is important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this pain that starts in my right waist and goes through to my abdomen. It starts off in the evening and keeps getting worse as the night goes on, becoming really severe until I take some medicine like Nicip P to help. I'm not sure which specialist I should reach out to for this. Any ideas?

My sister's SGOT and SGPT levels are really high, with SGPT being around 5000. What could this mean for her health? Are there any specific precautions or treatments she needs to consider? She's currently admitted to the hospital, and we're quite worried. Could you please guide us on what to expect and how we can help her in this situation?
High levels of SGOT and SGPT indicate liver damage. An SGPT level of around 5000 is significantly elevated and indicates severe liver injury. Your sister is already admitted in the hospital which is the right decision. The doctors will likely run further tests to determine the underlying cause of the liver damage. In the meantime, she may be given medications like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to help protect her liver cells. It is important for her to avoid alcohol, fatty foods, and any medications that can further harm the liver. She may also need to follow a specific diet plan recommended by the healthcare team. The treatment and precautions will depend on the specific cause of the liver damage, so it's important to follow the advice of her healthcare providers.
