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*

  1. Monitor temperature: Keep track of your child's fever.
  2. Fluids: Offer plenty of fluids, like breast milk, formula, or an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte).
  3. Pain relief: For headache and fever, consult your pediatrician about administering acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) in the correct dosage.

When to Seek Medical Attention

  1. Fever: If the fever exceeds 102F or lasts more than 2 days.
  2. Headache: If the headache worsens, is severe, or accompanied by vomiting, confusion, or lethargy.
  3. Other symptoms: If your child experiences difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or shows signs of dehydration (e.g., fewer wet diapers, dry mouth).

I'm a bit puzzled and worried here. My latest reports show that everything's normal, but my SGPT is at 79 and SGOT is 42. The ultrasound mentions a grade 1 fatty liver, which is confusing because all my friends with fatty liver haven't had any risen liver enzymes like I do. Why is this happening to me?

R U A ALCOHOLIC? IF SO, LIVER ENZYMES ARE RAISED DUE TO THAT. FATTY LIVER IS ALSO DUE TO THAT? WHY YOUR FRIENDS DON'T HAVE INCREASED LIVER ENZYMES THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY? ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE FATTY LIVER ALSO?? IT'S QUERY ABOUT U N YOU HAVE MENTIONED ALL INFORMATION ABOUT U SO DON'T WORRY. DIET CONTROL N WALKING IS CHANGED THE LIVER ENZYMES. SGPT IS RAISED SGOT IS NOT SO MUCH ENLARGED. SO IF U R ALCOHOLIC TRY TO MININIMISE IT TO 60 ML. LOW FAT, LEAST OIL,NO FRIED JUNK FOOD OR FOOD FROM OUTSIDE. BRICK WALKING AT LEAST FOR 30 MINUTES.

I've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?

SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.
