I've been diagnosed with gallstones but want to avoid surgery are there any other treatments that could help? What options do I have besides going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If you have gallstones and want to avoid surgery, several nonsurgical options are available, including oral dissolution therapy, endoscopic procedures, and shock wave lithotripsy. These methods may be suitable if you have small cholesterol stones or are not a candidate for surgery.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with both dengue and typhoid right now, and I'm not sure what kind of diet would be best for her. The big issue is that nothing seems to be digesting properly - even water passes through her really quickly, like within 15 minutes. Is there something specific I should be feeding her to help with this?

Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Tonsillolith (Tonsil Stone)*: A small, harmless deposit of calcium and debris that can form on the surface of the tonsils. 2. *Mucous Cyst*: A small, benign growth that can occur on the mucous membranes in the throat. 3. *Follicular Hyperplasia*: An overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the throat, which can cause small, painless bumps. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Gargling with Salt Water*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce inflammation and flush out debris. 2. *Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush your teeth regularly, and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and debris from the surface of your tongue. 3. *Staying Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help keep your throat moist and reduce the risk of tonsil stones.

I'm a bit confused about how to take Liv 52. Should it be taken on an empty stomach or with food? Also, could you tell me the recommended doses for better digestion and relief?
Liv 52 is a Ayurvedic medicine so you can take either before food or after food but according to my advice any digestive syrup should take after feed .
