I'm experiencing some stomach issues and was wondering what exactly doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules do. Could they help with an infection in my stomach? I'm just trying to understand how these work together.

Immediate Care*
- Monitor temperature: Keep track of your child's fever.
- Fluids: Offer plenty of fluids, like breast milk, formula, or an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte).
- Pain relief: For headache and fever, consult your pediatrician about administering acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) in the correct dosage.
When to Seek Medical Attention
- Fever: If the fever exceeds 102F or lasts more than 2 days.
- Headache: If the headache worsens, is severe, or accompanied by vomiting, confusion, or lethargy.
- Other symptoms: If your child experiences difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or shows signs of dehydration (e.g., fewer wet diapers, dry mouth).

View allMy mom is 65 with multiple 9mm gallstones but her appetite is fine. She has occasional gas and mild pain, nothing severe. The doctor recommended surgery but mentioned it's high risk because of her severe sleep apnea. Can we just continue Udiliv for 2 years to dissolve the stones or is surgery really necessary?
Surgery is generally recommended for gallstones if the patient has symptoms. However, given your mom’s sleep apnea, non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid (Udiliv) may help in the short term, though the stones are unlikely to fully dissolve. Consider discussing surgery timing based on her condition.

I've been having this burning pain at my anus when I sit, and it gets worse after I pass stools. This has been going on for about two weeks now, and I'm really starting to get worried. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned about any specific conditions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cannot be diagnosed without examining the area. Possible anal fissure, or hemorrhoids.

I'm really concerned about my Sgpt level being 107, even though all my other levels are normal. Can you let me know if this is something I need to worry about, or if it's just a minor issue? I've been feeling anxious about it and would appreciate any advice you can offer.
An SGPT (ALT) level of 107 is mildly elevated, and since other liver function tests are normal, it may indicate mild liver stress or damage, possibly due to fatty liver, alcohol consumption, or medication side effects, and it's essential to consult your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate course of action, which may include lifestyle modifications, medication adjustments, or further testing.
