I'm having trouble with hard stools. I ate some bread and pizza, and since then, I've been dealing with chronic constipation. It kinda feels like there's something really stuck in my colon. Can you suggest a practical and lasting solution for this?

To relieve your constipation and prevent it from becoming a long-term issue, focus on:
Increasing fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains). Drinking more water. Exercising regularly. Avoiding processed foods that can contribute to constipation. Trying natural laxatives or gentle over-the-counter remedies if necessary. If your symptoms persist or worsen, dont hesitate to reach out to a doctor

View allI'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?
Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.

I've been recovering from COVID, and it's been over 35 days since I got my first positive test. Lately, I've been experiencing this dull chest pain that comes and goes on its own. There's also this burning pain mostly on the left side of my chest. I've been taking treatment for GERD for the last 10 days with pantop d 40mg once a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you offer some guidance on what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent chest pain and symptoms of GERD despite taking Pantop D 40mg once a day. In this case, you can try adding an antacid like **Ranitidine 150mg** twice a day before meals to help with the burning chest pain. Additionally, you can try **Sucralfate** suspension 1-2 teaspoons four times a day to help coat and protect the lining of your stomach. Make sure to continue following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
