I've just been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I'm getting this pain around the liver area sometimes. All my blood work is coming back normal, which is good, but I'm still worried. Any thoughts on what I should do about the fatty liver and the pain I'm feeling there?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Losing 3-5% of body weight through regular exercise and a healthy diet can effectively resolve grade 1 fatty liver in many cases. Limiting alcohol, reducing sugarrefined carbs, increasing fibre, drinking more water and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol also support liver health.

View allMy dad's HbsAg test came back positive, so it looks like he's got Hepatitis B. I'm really worried about what this means for his health. Can you please help us understand what our next steps should be for treatment and how we might cure this?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications. Antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir are commonly prescribed to help reduce the viral load in the body and slow down the progression of the disease. It's important for your father to follow up with a healthcare provider regularly for monitoring and to discuss the best treatment plan for his specific situation.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been dealing with acidity issues for the past 10 years. He's been taking Aciloc for a while now, and I can't help but wonder if there are any natural remedies or home cures that might help instead of relying on medicine. Also, are there any side effects from taking Aciloc for so long?
While Aciloc is effective in managing acidity, there are also some home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms. For example, he can try consuming smaller and more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, drinking a glass of cold milk or eating a banana can also provide relief from acidity. As for the side effects of Aciloc, common ones may include headache, dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if any side effects persist or worsen.

I've been having this issue for the last 45 days with these excessive and weird burps, and there's a small pain just below my ribs. I've been taking rabcer20 morning and night for the past couple of days before eating, and it provides some relief, but these burps are still happening. On the first day, I even threw up at night shortly after eating. Any idea what's going on? It also feels like there's a little gas bubble just below my ribs, and I can't sit comfortably, especially after meals or even just drinking water. There's also a lot of bloating, and my stomach feels really full and heavy right after eating or drinking. Could it be anything related to my appendicitis surgery that I had when I was 16? I'm 28 years old and male. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend you try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) after meals to help relieve gas bloating. It's important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
