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 trying to figure out the best way to get rid of a stone in the liver. Should it be done with laser surgery, regular surgery, or is there another method that works better? I'm kinda worried and would love to know more about the options.
Your vomiting problem for 8 months and elevated SGPT levels of 89 units indicate potential liver damage or disease. The normal range for SGPT is between 7-56 units per liter . *Possible Causes of Elevated SGPT:* - _Liver damage or disease_: Conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or liver cirrhosis can cause elevated SGPT levels . - _Medication or toxin exposure_: Certain medications, such as statins, or exposure to toxins can damage liver cells, leading to increased SGPT levels. - _Other medical conditions_: Diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions can also contribute to elevated SGPT levels. *Cure and Treatment:* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your elevated SGPT levels. 2. *Liver function tests*: Your doctor may recommend additional liver function tests, such as ALT or AST, to confirm the diagnosis. 3. *Medication and lifestyle changes*: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe medication or recommend lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and toxins. 4. *Monitor SGPT levels*: Regularly monitor your SGPT levels to ensure they return to normal range.

I've been dealing with some stomach and upper abdominal pain for a couple of days now, and there's been a lot of bloating and gas too. I'm starting to worry a bit. Any idea what might be going on?
If you are not having any vomitting or loose motion, it is likely just a case of gastritis or bloating. You can take Pantoprazole 40mg before food for a couple of days, while restricting yourself to a reduced spice diet. You can also consider taking Simethicone for relief from bloating. Avoid lying down immediately after meals and try to eat in smaller quantities with increased frequency, instead of large meals with longer gaps. Keeping yourself physically active for at least 150 minutes per week has great benefits with regards to gut health and peristalsis.
