I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

View allI'm dealing with grade 2 fatty liver, and I usually drink from moderate to heavy. They've mentioned it's a reversible condition but that it'll take time. I'm also a bit overweight. Can you let me know how long it might take for my liver to recover? And what kind of precautions should I be taking to help speed up the recovery?
Fatty liver grade 2 can be reversed with lifestyle changes, but it will take time, typically several months to a year. Focus on cutting out alcohol, adopting a balanced, low-fat diet, exercising regularly, and losing weight gradually to support liver health and recovery. Be patient, as consistent effort will make a difference over time.

Having hard stools and constipation after facial surgery is really painful. I've been on a liquid diet since the surgery to fix minor hairline fractures, but now I'm struggling with bowel movements. Could this be because of the diet or something else?
