My dad had a CABG surgery around three months ago, and now he's really wanting to have a drink. I'm worried and wondering if it's okay for him to have alcohol after the surgery. Can you share some advice on this?

It is generally recommended for patients who have undergone CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) to avoid alcohol consumption, especially in the initial recovery period. Alcohol can interact with medications, affect heart function, and potentially increase the risk of complications. It is best for your father to consult with his cardiologist before consuming any alcohol.

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old dad. He had an angioplasty just five days ago and now he's running a fever. The doctor gave him Ceftum 500 and he's already taken two tablets, but the fever keeps coming back. Plus, he had constipation for a couple of days, so we tried giving him Looz syrup, and now he's got loose motions. What should we do?
