My wife has an 8mm stone in her pancreatic duct. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Are there any medications or maybe even Ayurvedic treatments that could help remove or dissolve these calcium deposits?

I've been dealing with this feeling for about 8 months now. It's like there's mucus stuck in my throat, almost like nasal mucus. A while back, about 6 months ago, I had a GI infection from H. pylori but got treatment and I'm not dealing with any infection anymore. However, I still frequently get gastrointestinal disturbances. The mucus stuck feeling is really bothering me. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get rid of it?

use mucolytics like montlucast and consult your doctor foe further treatment

I've got a few concerns about my liver tests. My SGOT is 66 and SGPT is 106. I'm a female and don't really have any other liver-related symptoms aside from some acidity troubles. My globulin level is at 4 and the albumin-globulin ratio is 1.0. Do you think I should get more tests done, or is there anything specific I should be worried about?

It is better to go for ultrasound of abdomen and share reports
