I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.

Montair LC and Allegra-M are both antihistamines used to treat allergies, but they have some differences. Key differences:*
- Levocetirizine (in Montair LC) is more sedating than Fexofenadine (in Allegra-M).
- Montair LC is often prescribed for asthma, while Allegra-M is primarily for allergies.
- Allegra-M has a faster onset of action (1-2 hours) compared to Montair LC (2-4 hours).

View allI'm really worried because my SGPT levels are high in my blood tests. I used to drink alcohol weekly, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it. How can I lower my SGPT levels quickly? Also, if I get my levels back to normal, would it be okay to drink occasionally?
To decrease SGPT levels quickly, you should first stop consuming alcohol completely. Additionally, you can take medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg) or S-Adenosylmethionine (400mg) to help lower SGPT levels. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and stay hydrated to support liver function. Once your SGPT level returns to normal, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption or drink in moderation to prevent a recurrence of high SGPT levels.

I've noticed that whenever I eat oily foods, I tend to cough a lot, and there's quite a bit of mucus involved. Sometimes it even feels like there's some mucus stuck in my throat. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be concerned about what's going on?
That says you are allergic to oil,try to switch oil or avoid it completely, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I'm having some trouble with gas, and I think it might be related to the fact that I've been eating a lot of boiled egg whitesabout 5 to 6 every day. Can they actually be causing this gas issue? If they are, is there something I can do to help with the gas? And what if I decide to switch to liquid egg whites insteadwould that make any difference?
Interesting combination of symptoms. _Relationship Between UTI and Undigested Food in Stool_ 1. _Unrelated conditions_: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and undigested food in stool are generally unrelated conditions. 2. _E. coli in urine culture_: The presence of E. coli in your urine culture confirms a UTI, but the low colony count might indicate a mild infection. 3. _Undigested food in stool_: This symptom could be related to: - Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., IBS, gastroparesis, or malabsorption) - Dietary factors (e.g., food intolerance, high-fiber diet, or inadequate digestive enzymes) - Other medical conditions (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or pancreatic insufficiency) _Next Steps_ 1. _Complete UTI treatment_: Finish the prescribed antibiotic course to clear the E. coli infection. 2. _Investigate gastrointestinal symptoms_: Consult a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the undigested food in stool symptom. 3. _Dietary and lifestyle changes_: Consider keeping a food diary, avoiding trigger foods, and incorporating digestive-friendly foods and habits.
