I've been diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver and have multiple gallstones ranging from 3 to 8mm. What treatment options do I have and is surgery necessary for this condition? I'm a bit worried about whether lifestyle changes alone would be enough or if I need medical intervention.

For grade 1 fatty liver and gallstones, a combination of lifestyle changes and, potentially, medical intervention might be necessary. Lifestyle changes, including weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise, can help improve fatty liver. For gallstones, if they cause symptoms, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often recommended.

I'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?

SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes. A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly. There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis. LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.

I'm really concerned because I've always noticed a bad smell in my mouth and nose. I've already seen a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and even enteric specialists, but they all say there's no problem. I'm not sure what to do next, and honestly, it's been really upsetting. Any advice on what steps I should take now?

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.

Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.
