I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?

I've noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, you can take Silymarin at a dosage recommended by your consulting doctor. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce inflammation. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

I'm a 25-year-old male and a bit overweight. Lately, I've noticed my stool has been narrower, sometimes even pencil-thin. There's no blood, fever, or stomach pain, but when I looked it up online, I came across something about colon cancer. Now I'm really freaked out. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?

Less likely to be related to colon cancer. Narrow or pencil-thin stool can sometimes be caused by benign conditions such as changes in diet, dehydration, or a lack of fiber. However, it is important to rule out any serious underlying issues. I recommend you try increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated. You can also consider taking a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with stool consistency. If the issue persists or if you develop any concerning symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation
