I've been having really bad gas pain and back pain lately and the USG showed multiple gallstones with the largest one being 0.44cm in my gallbladder. Is there any medicine that can dissolve these stones instead of surgery and if so how long would it take to work

Multiple gallstones detected via ultrasound can definitely cause the type of gas and back pain you're experiencing. The pain is likely due to the gallstones blocking the bile ducts, which is a condition called biliary colic. It's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, as gallstones can lead to more serious complications if left untreated.

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.

I just swallowed a plum seed by mistake about an hour ago. It didn't cause me to choke, and I'm not in any pain at the moment. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to make sure I'm okay?

Accidentally swallowing a medium sized plum seed should not cause any harm as long as you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. However, it is important to monitor for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or choking sensation. To help pass the seed through your digestive system smoothly, you can drink plenty of water to aid in digestion. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm going through a tough time dealing with GERD for the past three years, and I've been on Razo D daily. Whenever it gets worse, I pop a few Ulgel A. I'm starting to worry if it's okay to keep using them over the long haul. Are Razo D and Ulgel A safe to use like this for a long period?
