My dad, who is 58, had a fever about 9 days ago but got better after we took him to the doctor. But heres the thinghes had these really persistent hiccups for the last 7 days. At first, they just wouldn't stop. Weve been giving him coconut water and cold water which seems to help calm them down a bit, but they keep coming back. He's also on a light diet. We're worried about what this could mean. Is this something serious? Can you suggest any remedies or next steps?

View allI've been having a tough time with some digestive issues lately, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. There's been indigestion, that uncomfortable burning feeling from acidity, and I've noticed a lot of gas. On top of that, it seems like I'm not fully clearing my bowelsmy stools have been less for the past few days. Is there something specific I should be looking out for or doing to help with this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with pain in the upper right side of my abdomen for about 34 days now. I decided to get an SGPT test and my results came back at 68 points, which I know is on the high side. At first, I tried taking Silymarin 140 mg tablets but didn't see much improvement. Now I'm on Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets, 300 mg twice a day, and I've been doing that for the last 2 days, but my liver pain hasn't eased up. What should I do next?
Based on your symptoms and the medication you have already tried, I recommend adding a liver protective agent like Liv 52 DS tablets. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals for better liver support. Additionally, it is important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid alcohol, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my GGT levels have shot up from 180 to 425 in just 10 days. I got tested for viral hepatitis and thankfully both hepatitis B and C came out negative. I'm on medication, but it doesn't seem to be helping with the GGT. What can I do to bring these levels down? Could my medication be affecting it?
Yes there is cure for that visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
