My sister's SGOT and SGPT levels are really high, with SGPT being around 5000. What could this mean for her health? Are there any specific precautions or treatments she needs to consider? She's currently admitted to the hospital, and we're quite worried. Could you please guide us on what to expect and how we can help her in this situation?

High levels of SGOT and SGPT indicate liver damage. An SGPT level of around 5000 is significantly elevated and indicates severe liver injury. Your sister is already admitted in the hospital which is the right decision. The doctors will likely run further tests to determine the underlying cause of the liver damage. In the meantime, she may be given medications like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to help protect her liver cells. It is important for her to avoid alcohol, fatty foods, and any medications that can further harm the liver. She may also need to follow a specific diet plan recommended by the healthcare team. The treatment and precautions will depend on the specific cause of the liver damage, so it's important to follow the advice of her healthcare providers.

View allI've been feeling a bit off since last night. I ate biryani around 10:30 PM, and this morning I started vomiting. I tried drinking Eno, but I'm still experiencing some occasional pain. It's weird because sometimes it feels like I might vomit again, and I've also been dealing with a lot of gas and waste leaving my body. Could this be something serious, or is it just food-related? What should I do?

Good day, I've been having trouble sleeping at night for almost 2 months now, and it's really starting to worry me. My throat always feels dry even though I drink water all the time. I also experience some chest pain and burping, sometimes even heartburn. I've noticed bumps on the back of my tongue and a white patch in the center too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
