I'm dealing with an ulcer that's been bothering me for the past 24 days. Can you let me know how often I should be using Dologel each day? I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing it right.

Dologel should be applied directly to the affected area using a clean fingertip. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of Dologel over the ulcer 3-4 times a day, after meals and at bedtime. Make sure not to eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after applying Dologel to allow it to properly adhere to the ulcer and provide relief.

View allI've been feeling like there's food stuck in my throat and it won't go down. My voice has gotten hoarse, and I've got this irritable bowel thing going on. My stomach hurts and feels like it's burning, and now I've started having pain in my lower back too. It's really uncomfortable and I'm starting to get pretty anxious about it. Any idea what could be going on?

I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.

I'm really confused about my recent health check-up results. My SGPT is 155 and SGOT is 180, but I'm not a drinker, so I'm puzzled about what might be causing this. All my hepatitis virus tests came back negative. An ultrasound discovered a grade 2 fatty liver, and my fibroscan is showing 9.5. I don't have any symptoms, just found out through a regular check-up. Could you give me some advice or suggest a treatment plan for this?
Based on your test results showing elevated liver enzymes and the presence of grade 2 fatty liver, it is important to address the underlying cause and manage your condition. Since hepatitis virus tests are negative, the elevation in liver enzymes may be due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I recommend starting treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 10-15 mgkgday. This medication can help improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. In addition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial in managing NAFLD. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your liver function tests and adjust treatment as needed.
