I'm really concerned right now because I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. It's making it really difficult for me to sleep. My dad gave me a pantop tablet yesterday, and now my throat feels clear, and my chest is okayish, but there's still this uneasy feeling in my chest with a very slight pain. Last month, I dealt with a cold and cough with white phlegm for about 20 days, but that's gone now. With everything going on with COVID-19, I'm scared to visit a hospital. Do you think I should be taking any other medication, or is there anything else you can suggest?

View allI found out I have gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder from a USG report but I don't have any pain they were discovered accidentally during a scan for something else. Do I really need surgery or can they be treated with medicine?
Gallstones detected incidentally without pain often don’t need surgery immediately but should be monitored for symptoms or complications.

I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?
It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a 32-year-old male, and I'm a bit worried about my recent liver test results. My SGOT is 63 and my SGPT is 70. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Also, my bilirubin level is 1.26.

Smegma is a normal, harmless substance. To get rid of smegma: Retract your foreskin and gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products. Dry the area thoroughly after washing. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week. Consult a urologist or healthcare professional if you experience discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting your foreskin.
