Question 1

My colonoscopy showed a bulging appendix orifice with a small tumor that hasn't grown in two years. Should I keep monitoring it or opt for surgery? I'm worried they might remove my ileocecal valve too since it's close by, and I'm not sure if the tumor is even harmful what's the best move here?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Question 2

I've been dealing with pain in the upper right side of my abdomen for about 34 days now. I decided to get an SGPT test and my results came back at 68 points, which I know is on the high side. At first, I tried taking Silymarin 140 mg tablets but didn't see much improvement. Now I'm on Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets, 300 mg twice a day, and I've been doing that for the last 2 days, but my liver pain hasn't eased up. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and the medication you have already tried, I recommend adding a liver protective agent like Liv 52 DS tablets. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals for better liver support. Additionally, it is important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid alcohol, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having loose motions and took Norflox TZ about 4 hours ago, but it hasn't helped yet. She's planning to take another dose in 4 more hours. Is it okay for her to do that?

Accepted Answer

no take loperamide

I'm having watery stools and I've already tried Sporilac and Eldoper, but nothing seems to be working. There's also a bit of stomach pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Nor Metrogyl since I can't find any doctors available right now. It's really urgent. Can you help?

Yes you can take that tablet two times in a day and stay hydrated consume bland food,if its becoming worse visit Physician for appropriate management
