Question 1

I'm really concerned about a friend who recently got their blood test results back. They tested positive for Hepatitis B, and I'm trying to understand what the results mean. The results showed a Hepatitis B viral load of 940 IUml with a log value of 2.97, and the viral load was 5471 copiesml. I'm not sure if these numbers are high or what they indicate. Could you help me interpret if the results are positive or negative for Hepatitis B? I'm really anxious to get some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

Based on the results provided, your friend has tested positive for Hepatitis B. The quantitative viral load results show 940 IUml and 5471 copiesml, indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. It is important for your friend to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In cases like this, antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir may be prescribed to help manage the infection. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by the healthcare provider based on individual factors.

Question 3

I've been having some issues with gas and it's really starting to worry me. So, I had h pylori and gastritis, and after getting treatment, my flatulence reduced a lot and even the smell got better. But now, a few days after finishing the treatment, I'm back to having a lot of smelly gas. I saw a gastro doctor who prescribed rifagut 550 for 10 days and a probiotic for 5 days, and that helped with the smell somewhat, but I'm still farting a lot, especially in the evenings and at night. It's really affecting my social life. On top of that, I'm going to the bathroom about 12 times a day. I've been taking nexpro L for the past one and a half months as my doctor advised, but it's not helping. What can I do to get rid of this farting problem? Id really appreciate any advice.

#NAME?

I'm having these weird symptoms after eating anything, like I keep burping and it feels like something's stuck in my throat, although it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. Could this be related to COVID or something else?

no its not covid, its gastritis, take tablet pantop for 3 days
