Question 1

I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?

Accepted Answer

An SGPT level of 81 above the normal range can indicate liver damage or inflammation. It is important to further investigate the cause of this elevation. In your case, obesity can contribute to liver issues. To address this, you can start with lifestyle modifications such as weight loss through diet and exercise.

Question 3

I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be so...

Accepted Answer

GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars.

Their durability depends on factors such as:

- Size and location of the filling
- Oral hygiene and maintenance
- Chewing habits and forces

Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.

Question 4

I'm wondering how long I should wait before getting a tetanus shot. Is it risky if I don't get one soon? I'm really concerned about this and would really appreciate some advice.

Accepted Answer

After an injury, a tetanus injection should ideally be taken within 24 hours. However, if it has been more than 24 hours since the injury and you are unsure of your vaccination status, it is still recommended to get the injection as soon as possible. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can be life-threatening if left untreated, so it is important not to ignore it. The standard tetanus vaccine is called Tdap, and the recommended dosage for adults is a single dose.
