I've been experiencing this sharp, persistent pain on the right side of my rib cage for about a year now. I've seen a few doctors and they keep prescribing anti-inflammatory meds, but they just aren't doing the trick. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest any other treatment options?

My dad is 77 and had bypass surgery 25 years ago he's now dealing with bleeding piles and really bad burning around his anus. What can we do to help ease his discomfort?

For bleeding piles and discomfort, increasing fiber intake, using topical creams, and sitting in warm water baths may help. If symptoms persist, a doctor may recommend surgical procedures like hemorrhoidectomy.

I'm a bit puzzled and worried here. My latest reports show that everything's normal, but my SGPT is at 79 and SGOT is 42. The ultrasound mentions a grade 1 fatty liver, which is confusing because all my friends with fatty liver haven't had any risen liver enzymes like I do. Why is this happening to me?

R U A ALCOHOLIC? IF SO, LIVER ENZYMES ARE RAISED DUE TO THAT. FATTY LIVER IS ALSO DUE TO THAT? WHY YOUR FRIENDS DON'T HAVE INCREASED LIVER ENZYMES THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY? ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE FATTY LIVER ALSO?? IT'S QUERY ABOUT U N YOU HAVE MENTIONED ALL INFORMATION ABOUT U SO DON'T WORRY. DIET CONTROL N WALKING IS CHANGED THE LIVER ENZYMES. SGPT IS RAISED SGOT IS NOT SO MUCH ENLARGED. SO IF U R ALCOHOLIC TRY TO MININIMISE IT TO 60 ML. LOW FAT, LEAST OIL,NO FRIED JUNK FOOD OR FOOD FROM OUTSIDE. BRICK WALKING AT LEAST FOR 30 MINUTES.

So, I accidentally drank some spoiled milk and now my stomach is really aching, and I'm having digestion issues. What should I do to feel better?
