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?

I'm a 32-year-old male, and I'm a bit worried about my recent liver test results. My SGOT is 63 and my SGPT is 70. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Also, my bilirubin level is 1.26. Could you please advise me on whether these are dangerous and suggest any medicine or lifestyle changes I should consider?

Smegma is a normal, harmless substance. To get rid of smegma: Retract your foreskin and gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products. Dry the area thoroughly after washing. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week. Consult a urologist or healthcare professional if you experience discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting your foreskin.

I'm feeling like my stomach is really full and tight, and it's hard for me to take a deep breath. Each time I try, my stomach tightens up, and my neck area feels tight too. I've noticed my stomach looks swollen. What could be going on?

If these symptoms persist or worsen, or if you have any additional concerns such as chest pain, dizziness, or difficulty swallowing, it's important to seek medical attention right away, as some conditions like GERD, gastritis, or heart-related issues require a doctor's evaluation. If this is an ongoing issue, or if you're feeling increasingly anxious about it, I would strongly recommend reaching out to a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
