I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've had this discomfort and pain in the upper right side of my chest for the past three days. I visited a gastric specialist and he mentioned it might be due to acidity, so he prescribed Pantocid 40mg and Rifagut. I've been taking them for two days now, but the discomfort hasnt improved. Do you think I should get an X-ray to check what's going on? Any advice would be really helpful.

View allI've been struggling with bloating for a while now, and I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently fix this or if it's something I'm going to have to deal with forever. Also, when it comes to seeking medical advice, should I be consulting an Ayurveda specialist or a gastroenterologist? I'm really not sure which direction to take and would love some guidance.

I've been having some pain in my testicles, so I went in for an ultrasound yesterday. The results showed that I have a fatty liver grade 1. I'm a little worried and wondering if this is something I can fix or if it's more serious. Can you give me some advice on whether it's curable and what steps I should take?
In your case, having grade 1 fatty liver is a reversible condition. The main treatment for fatty liver disease includes lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight loss, and avoiding alcohol consumption. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your condition.

My 57-year-old uncle's ultrasound showed a few small 2mm echogenic foci in his gallbladder sludge or small calculi. Can this be managed with meds or does he need surgery?
For small gallbladder sludge or calculi (stones) less than 5mm, treatment often involves watchful waiting and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is generally not needed unless the sludge or stones cause symptoms or complications like bile duct blockage.
