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?

View allI'm really worried about my wife's kidney function test results. Her SGPT is at 322, SGOT is 206, GGT is 235, and ALP is 379. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what we should do next?
The elevated liver enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, GGT, and ALP) indicate liver damage or inflammation, potentially due to hepatitis, fatty liver, or other conditions; schedule an immediate consultation with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss further testing (e.g., liver ultrasound, hepatitis screening), lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, exercise), and possible treatment options to address the underlying cause.

I've been dealing with a pretty concerning issue of drooling in my sleep, and a friend mentioned it might be due to worms in my stomach or intestines. So I'm a bit worried and have a few questions about this. Is it really possible that worms could be causing the drooling? Also, it's quite severe for me, so how can I reduce or even completely stop this drooling problem? And if worms are the issue, what's the best way to get rid of them? Are deworming tablets a permanent solution, or should I consider an ayurvedic option?
Drooling while sleeping is usually not caused by worms in the body. It could be due to issues like nasal congestion, sleeping position, or excessive saliva production. To reduce drooling, try sleeping on your side and address any nasal blockages. For worms, de-worming tablets can be effective, but it's important to follow up with your doctor for the best treatment plan. Ayurveda can also be an option, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any alternative treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about the mild fatty infiltration of my liver and the multiple lipomas found in my recent ultrasound. Also, my blood test showed Bilirubin at 1.58 mgdL, SGPT at 57 UL, and SGOT at 36 UL. I drink alcohol about once a week and my doctor prescribed ME12 OD tablets due to a low vitamin B12 level of 232 pgmL. Could taking this B12 supplement affect my liver condition negatively? Would love your advice.
The prescribed ME12 OD tablet, containing vitamin B12, is unlikely to have a negative impact on your liver condition, as vitamin B12 deficiency can actually exacerbate liver damage; in fact, correcting the deficiency may help improve liver function, and the mild fatty infiltration of the liver and elevated SGPT levels may benefit from vitamin B12 supplementation.
