Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad because he's been having regular gastric issues and body pains. I've noticed he usually takes Raja khaini tobacco right after meals, especially since he has breakfast around 10:30 a.m. We've consulted several doctors but haven't found a solution yet. What should we do next?

Question 2

I'm trying to figure out how to use this povidone iodine germicide gargle. I visited the ENT hospital, and they gave me some Betadine. How do I use it properly? Is there anything specific I should know or be careful about when using it?

Accepted Answer

To use povidone iodine germicide gargle, such as Betadine, follow these instructions: 
Dilute the Betadine solution with an equal amount of water before using it as a gargle. 
Gargle with the diluted solution for 30 seconds to 1 minute. - Do not swallow the solution; spit it out after gargling. 
Use the gargle as directed by your healthcare provider, usually 2-4 times a day. 
Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after using the gargle. This will help in reducing bacteria and germs in your mouth and throat.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Sh...

Accepted Answer

Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.

Question 4

I'm 26 and dealing with premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel like I might have ED too. I saw an online homeopathic doctor before who prescribed Damia Plant  20 drops, three times daily, Acidphos 200  10 drops in the morning, and Lycopodium 200...

Accepted Answer

It seems like the current homeopathic treatment you are taking for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is not showing significant improvement. In such cases, you may consider trying allopathic medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) for premature ejaculation and Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction. Consult a urologist for dosage and prescription.

Question 5

I've been struggling for years with not having a daily bowel movement. It's every two days at best, and when it happens, it's really hard. Why is this happening and what can I do to have more regular and easier motions?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing constipation. I recommend trying a stool softener like Colace or a laxative such as Miralax to help with your bowel movements. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated can also help alleviate constipation.
