I've been dealing with chest pain and my doctor recommended an ultrasound of my whole abdomen. They found that my liver is enlarged, measuring 156 mm. Could you tell me what the normal size for a healthy human liver should be?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The normal size of a human liver is approximately 120-150 mm. In your case, with a measurement of 156 mm, it indicates hepatomegaly or an enlarged liver. This could be due to various reasons such as fatty liver, hepatitis, or other underlying medical conditions. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've recently had some lab tests done, and I'm a bit worried about the results. My LFT showed that my bilirubin is at 1.4 mgdl, SGOT is 73 UL, SGPT is 129 UL, and alkaline phosphatase is at 82 UL. Plus, my uric acid level is 6.6 mgdl. I'm a frequent drinker, but I'm trying to cut back on alcohol. What steps should I take to improve these values, and are they something I should be concerned about right now?

I'm experiencing a lot of saliva and after swallowing it, I feel this burning sensation in my stomach like acidity. Its really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
Can be a sign of acid reflux. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can use Antacid syrup like Gaviscon 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for immediate relief from acidity symptoms. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help reduce symptoms.

I've been feeling something like a lump in my throat since I had COVID back in August. It's been almost 5 months now, and it's not going away. Sometimes it gets so bad that it makes me feel breathless. My general physician said it's acid reflux and suggested taking Rabium DSR on an empty stomach for 10 days, but I haven't seen any improvement. Can you recommend any other medications or solutions? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what else might help.
