I'm supposed to have an endoscopy tomorrow because I've been dealing with a really bad sore throat and some keratosis happening there. But today I took cetirizine and paracetamol. Can I still go through with the endoscopy, or could this be an issue?

View allI'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?
Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.

My wife has been dealing with gall bladder stone pain since February 25th and the stone is 18.3mm in size. Is there any way to dissolve or break it without surgery, especially since she just had a baby 4 months ago and underwent a delivery operation last November? We're really worried about another surgery so soon and want to explore all options first
A gallbladder stone measuring 18.3 mm (or 1.83 cm) is considered large and carries a higher risk of complications compared to smaller stones. While smaller gallstones often pass unnoticed, larger ones, particularly those over 1 cm, can lead to blockages in the bile ducts, inflammation, and potentially require surgical removal. A stone of this size, combined with other factors like composition, location, and underlying medical conditions, should be evaluated by a doctor to assess the individual risk and determine the best course of action
