My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.
Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.

I'm having this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I swallow, even when I just drink water. It gets worse when I burp too. This all began about three weeks ago after a pill my ENT doctor recommended got stuck in my throat, and it almost made me vomit. Since then, the pain just hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing esophageal irritation or inflammation due to the pill getting stuck in your throat. This can lead to chest pain, especially when swallowing. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce stomach acid and relieve the pain. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (Prilosec) to further reduce acid production in your stomach. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried because my SGPT levels are high in my blood tests. I used to drink alcohol weekly, so I'm wondering if that's what's causing it. How can I lower my SGPT levels quickly? Also, if I get my levels back to normal, would it be okay to drink occasionally?
To decrease SGPT levels quickly, you should first stop consuming alcohol completely. Additionally, you can take medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid (300mg) or S-Adenosylmethionine (400mg) to help lower SGPT levels. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and stay hydrated to support liver function. Once your SGPT level returns to normal, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption or drink in moderation to prevent a recurrence of high SGPT levels.
