I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I've been dealing with some discomfort lately where I get a lot of acidity, and the gas won't release, causing sharp pain around my food pipe. I'm really not sure what to do about it. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this?

To help alleviate these symptoms, you can take an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) to neutralize the excess stomach acid. Additionally, you can take simethicone, found in Gas-X, to help break up the gas bubbles and facilitate their passage out of the body. To prevent further episodes, it is advisable to avoid foods that can trigger acidity and gas such as spicy foods, carbonated beverages, fried foods, and foods high in fat. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

I'm a bit worried about my liver function test results. My blood report shows an SGPT level of 107 UL and an SGOT level of 71 UL. I drink alcohol regularly, and my doctor recommended I take URSOCDL 300mg tablets. Could you please give me some advice on this?

Based on your liver function test results and history of frequent drinking, the doctor has prescribed you Tab Ursocol. This medication contains Ursodeoxycholic acid which helps in improving liver function. Additionally, it is important to reduce or stop alcohol consumption to support the treatment of your liver condition.
