I'm trying to figure out if it's better to take ursodeoxycholic acid and silybon 70 before or after eating. Also, how many times should I be taking them each day? Feeling a bit unsure here.

A Widal test titer of 1:180 indicates a positive result for typhoid.

Severity is determined by symptoms, not just the test result.

Consult your doctor for guidance.

Precautions: Rest, hydration, and good hygiene.

Avoid: Rawundercooked foods, unpasteurized dairy, and untreated water.

Take antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 54 and has been dealing with a fatty liver and jaundice for about a month now. I noticed that his SGOT level is 65. Do you think he can safely take Ecosprin tablets with these conditions? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for him.

Your father should not take Ecosprin tablet as it can worsen his liver condition. Instead, he can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 300mg to help improve his liver function and reduce the symptoms of jaundice. Additionally, he can take Vitamin E supplements to support his liver health. It is important for him to follow up with his doctor regularly for monitoring and management of his fatty liver disease.

I'm struggling with bad breath because of acid reflux. It's been an issue for about 10 years now. Could you suggest any medications that might help? I really want to find something that works.

I've been dealing with hyperacidity and heartburn for over a year now, even after cutting out tea and cola and sticking to home food. For the last three months, I've had to rely on Pentocid 40 every morning because Zinetac doesn't work as well. While it controls the acidity, I've developed a constant cough that doesn't bring up phlegm and sometimes wheezing. I've also started snoring a lot with my mouth open, leading to dry mouth and waking up at night. I really don't want surgery or an endoscopy is there a natural way to manage this? Also, could daily Pentocid cause side effects, especially since I'm already on Telma 40 for BP? I'm a bit of a hypochondriac but not stressed, and I don't smoke or drink. Just turned 45 could age be a factor?

.try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..do regular exercises...take pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above....consult physician if symptoms persists.
