I'm really struggling with eating properly these past two weeks. Every time I try to eat food like chapati or rice, I feel like I'm going to vomit, and sometimes I actually do, even if it's just fruits. It's really concerning, and I don't know what's going on. I visited a doctor, had some blood tests done, and I just got the results back today. My next appointment is on Saturday, and my ESR level is 60. What does that mean, and could it be causing these symptoms? I'm kind of worried.

View allI'm a bit concerned after having my gallbladder removed about six weeks ago, since my recent report shows fat changes in my liver and that its enlarged to 16.4 cm. The surgeon didnt mention anything about it, which has left me wondering how serious this might be. Im all about sticking to a low-fat diet and havent hit any bumps there, but Im curious about how I can help my liver reverse these fatty changes. Are there specific foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, would adding a liver tonic to my routine be useful, and if so, could you suggest any? One last thing that's been on my mindcan I enjoy alcohol now, just in moderation and on occasion? I'm a 23-year-old male, 5'10", weighing 87 kg, and luckily, I dont have any issues with sugar levels or blood pressure.
Avoid drinking and smoking as they increase the load on your liver. Avoid fried foods and processed snacks. Restrict yourself from having spicy foods and try to opt for a bland diet. You may need to take liver protective medication such as Ursocol or Tricholine.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been on TB meds for about 20 days now. Suddenly, he started having nonstop vomiting, can't eat or drink, and is super dehydrated. The doctor suggested stopping his TB pills for a week. They're giving him Taxim injections for the next 5 to 6 days along with some other injections. Do you think this break in TB treatment is something we should be concerned about?
Yes, it is the side-effects of anti-tubercular therapy. Pls continue inj taxim for 5 days.Post antibiotic course ATT can be started .

I'm experiencing a lot of saliva and after swallowing it, I feel this burning sensation in my stomach like acidity. Its really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
Can be a sign of acid reflux. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can use Antacid syrup like Gaviscon 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for immediate relief from acidity symptoms. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help reduce symptoms.
