I'm really concerned right now. A couple of months ago, I had typhoid, but everything seemed fine afterward. I did an ultrasound and all my tests came back normal, so I went back to my usual diet. But recently, after a weekend of drinking more alcohol than usual, I experienced a hangover that felt really strange. I went to the hospital, and while most of my liver function test results were normal, my bilirubin levels were highBilirubin Total was 2.2, Direct was 0.9, and Indirect was 1.3. The ultrasound showed nothing abnormal, though. My doctor prescribed some ursodeoxycholic acid tablets and anti-reflux meds, and suggested we repeat the liver function test after 15 days. I'm pretty worried about this whole situation. Could this be linked to my past typhoid, or did the alcohol play a bigger role? What should I be keeping an eye on? This is stressing me out.

I'm a bit confused about when I should take my next dose of Buscopan Plus for my tummy ache. Is it okay to have it every 4 hours, or should I wait until 6 p.m.? I just want to make sure I'm taking it correctly.

The recommended dosage interval for Buscopan Plus varies depending on the specific product and formulation, but generally, it's recommended to take one tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 3-4 tablets in 24 hours

Can you tell me if there's a surgery to stop bile from flowing into the stomach? I've been having issues and want to know what options are out there

Yes, there are surgical options to address bile reflux and prevent bile from flowing into the stomach. These procedures typically involve diverting the bile flow or strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to prevent it from leaking bile.
