I've been feeling something like a lump in my throat since I had COVID back in August. It's been almost 5 months now, and it's not going away. Sometimes it gets so bad that it makes me feel breathless. My general physician said it's acid reflux and suggested taking Rabium DSR on an empty stomach for 10 days, but I haven't seen any improvement. Can you recommend any other medications or solutions? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what else might help.

View allI've had a few tests recently and I'm a bit concerned about my liver results. I got tested on March 16th and my SGOT was normal, but my SGPT was at 83.5, and my platelets were 79000. When I tested again on March 17th, the SGOT was still normal, but the SGPT went up to 87.8. I just had another test on March 19th. I've been trying to manage things by drinking 23 liters of water and taking some supplements like Liver 52, Gaumulive, and papaya leaf extract. Could you help me understand these results, and if there's something else I should be doing to lower the SGPT level?
Based on your test results, Munish, your SGPT (ALT) levels are elevated (83.5 and 87.8), indicating liver inflammation or damage, while your SGOT (AST) levels are normal; your platelet count is also low (79,000); continuing to stay hydrated with 2-3 liters of water and taking Liver 52, Gaumulive, and Papaya leaf extract may be helpful; however, consult your doctor to discuss the test results, potential underlying causes, and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I'm taking Liv 52 because I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, and I'm just a bit unsure about when exactly I should be taking it. Is it better to take it before meals or after?
You can take Liv 52 before meals for better absorption and effectiveness. The recommended dosage is 1-2 tablets twice a day before meals.

I'm a bit worried because after eating spicy food, I noticed some black, sand-like stuff in my mouth. It doesn't taste good and I'm not sure what it is. I used to smoke but quit about four years ago. I'm concerned it might be something serious, like throat cancer. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal?
it is normal
