I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?

GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars.
Their durability depends on factors such as:
- Size and location of the filling
- Oral hygiene and maintenance
- Chewing habits and forces
Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.

I've been dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?
Your SGOT (63) and SGPT (70) levels are slightly elevated, indicating mild liver stress. Bilirubin (1.26) is within normal range.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation.
