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?

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.

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 54 and has been dealing with a fatty liver and jaundice for about a month now. I noticed that his SGOT level is 65. Do you think he can safely take Ecosprin tablets with these conditions? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for him.

Your father should not take Ecosprin tablet as it can worsen his liver condition. Instead, he can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 300mg to help improve his liver function and reduce the symptoms of jaundice. Additionally, he can take Vitamin E supplements to support his liver health. It is important for him to follow up with his doctor regularly for monitoring and management of his fatty liver disease.

I'm using 10ml of this syrup at night for my fissure, as my doctor suggested for two weeks. It's been 8 days now and I feel like it's getting better. Once I hit the two-week mark, can I stop taking it all of a sudden, or do I need to cut down slowly over a few days? I'm also curious if using it for two weeks is too long. What do you recommend?

kk u can take
