I've had fistula surgery a week ago and was told to take Smuth syrup, 15ml dosage, but it led to diarrhea. I cut back to 10ml, which helped with the stool softness, but I'm still going to the bathroom twice a day. Is it okay if I drop it down to 5ml? What should I do?

You can try reducing the dose of Smuth syrup to 5ml, but consult your surgeon or doctor first, as they may recommend adjusting the dose based on your individual needs and bowel movements, and also ensure you're drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods to support a smooth recovery from fistula surgery.

View allI'm really concerned because my ultrasound report came back showing hepatomegaly with fatty liver grade 1 and a partially distended gallbladder. My SGPT and SGOT levels are normal, and so is my bilirubin and alkaline phosphate. I do experience light inflammation and occasional pain in my right upper abdomen. I'm worried and feeling a lot of anxiety about this. Could you please tell me what's going on and recommend any medications or treatments I should consider? I'm eager to understand more about my situation.
Your ultrasound shows a mild fatty liver (grade 1) and a partially distended gallbladder, which could be linked to diet or minor gallbladder dysfunction. Since your liver enzymes and bilirubin are normal, its not alarming. Focus on a low-fat, balanced diet and regular exercise, and consult a doctor to discuss potential medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid if needed. Don't worry; this is manageable with lifestyle changes.

I'm really concerned because I had loose motions this morning and took two tablets of Enteroquinol. The good news is that the loose motions seem to be under control, but now I'm dealing with a mild fever and just feeling really weak overall. I've mainly been eating eggs for lunch and oats with milk, flax seeds, and prunes for dinner. Is there any medication you think I should try? Also, are there specific foods I should avoid or focus on eating while I'm feeling like this? I'm just trying to get back to feeling better.

Generally, eyebrow threading and upper lip threading are safe during pregnancy. However, to minimize risks: 1. Ensure the threading area is clean and sanitized. 2. Use a new, sterile thread. 3. Avoid excessive pulling or tugging. 4. Consider doing a patch test before threading.
