I'm dealing with pinworms in my stomach again and, from what I remember, I used to take ZENTEL for this when I was a kid. I'm really unsure about how to proceed. Could you guide me on what I should do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For pinworms, the typical adult dose of Zentel (Albendazole) is 400mg, taken as a single dose, and repeated in 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination of the parasites

View allI'm trying to understand what it means to have grade I fatty liver. Should I be worried about it? I already saw a doctor and did all the tests, but he didn't prescribe any medication. Instead, he suggested I cut down on fatty foods, lose some weight, and come back in three months. Does this mean it's not that serious? Could lifestyle changes really make a difference, and should I be doing anything else in the meantime?
Grade I fatty liver does not cause symptoms and can be reversible with lifestyle changes. Your doctor's advice to reduce fat content in food, lose weight, and follow up after three months is appropriate for managing Grade I fatty liver. It is important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, engage in regular physical activity, and achieve gradual weight loss if overweight or obese. There is no specific medication recommended for Grade I fatty liver, as lifestyle modifications are the mainstay of treatment

I've been dealing with this issue where whenever I eat, it feels like the food gets stuck between my chest and upper stomach, even though I don't have any acidity or pain. My pulmonologist had me on some meds like rablet d and ab flo, and while they helped a bit, they didn't really fix the problem. My chest X-ray came back normal, so that's good, but I'm pretty confused about what's going on. Just spoke to a friend who's a cardiologist and he thinks it's something to do with motility and stomach stuff, so he recommended a course of ganaton total for five days. I started that today, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every few minutes. I've also been taking steam at night. Do you think this new medication will help clear up whatever's going on? I'm a bit anxious about what's causing this and would love some advice.
It sounds like your symptoms might be related to gastric motility or reflux issues, and Ganaton Total could help by improving stomach movement and relieving any discomfort from food getting "stuck." Since you're not experiencing pain and your chest report is clear, it's good that you're already doing yoga and walking. If the discomfort persists or worsens, further investigation into motility or digestive issues might be needed.

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level is 49. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be concerned about? Also, what are some ways to bring it down naturally?
Elevated ALT (SGPT) levels, like your 49 reading, can be caused by various factors, including fatty liver, alcohol consumption, medication side effects, viral hepatitis, and liver damage from toxins or medications, and remedies to lower ALT levels include lifestyle changes like weight loss, exercise, and a balanced diet, as well as avoiding alcohol and hepatotoxic substances, managing underlying conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and considering supplements like vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids under medical guidance.
