Possible Diagnosis*

Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone): A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils.

Mucous Cyst: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat.

Follicular Hyperplasia: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps.

Treatment Advice

Gargling with Salt Water: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris.

Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue.

Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

I've been dealing with Gastritis and Acidity for the last four weeks, and although I'm on medication and feeling somewhat better, I still get a gassy feeling after eating. I've got Gasex and Rabicer D at home do you think it's okay to take either of these for gas relief, or should I try something else?

I'm really worried because my GGT level has gone up to 250. Is there any way to bring it down in about a week or so? Could you suggest any medications or treatments that might help? I'm really looking forward to your advice.

Elevated GGT levels can be indicative of liver or bile duct issues. To help lower your GGT levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This medication can help improve liver function and reduce GGT levels. Additionally, you should avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated to support liver health.

My friend was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia after an endoscopy, and the doctor mentioned surgery isn't needed but suggested an anti-reflux mucosectomy procedure using a laser. He's been dealing with chest pain and breathing issues because of the hernia would this endoscopic treatment actually help relieve his symptoms? Is it worth considering?
