I recently went for a check-up and they found my spleen was enlarged at 13 cm and I have a grade 1 fatty liver. I did a bunch of tests like for malaria, typhoid, diabetes, thyroid, hepatitis B and C, ANA, and lipid profile, and everything came back normal except my bilirubin level is at 1.6 and my SGOT SGPT is around 5990. After sticking to regular exercise and a better diet for 50 days, I lost 6 kg, going from 87 to 81 kg. I still don't have any other symptoms but I feel some pain in my spleen area and now it's 14 cm in the ultrasound. I'm taking Udiliv 300 and vitamin E, but I've talked to a lot of doctors and still don't really understand why my spleen is enlarged. Can you help clarify what's going on?

I'm dealing with a really frustrating issue of constant burping and belching for about 5 months now. It's gotten so bad that I can have 30 to 40 burps in just one minute sometimes. It's not something I can ignore anymore like before. Ive consulted the same doctor twice recently, and they said it's nothing to worry about and suggested doing regular exercise for better digestion. They also gave me some Diclofenac Sodium 100mg. Can you help me figure out what else I should do or if there's anything I should really be concerned about?

Frequent burping can be frustrating, and while your doctor recommends regular exercise for digestion, it's important to consider other potential causes like acid reflux or digestive issues. If the medication hasn't helped, it might be worth seeking a second opinion or exploring options like dietary adjustments or further tests to pinpoint the cause.
