Question 2

I got a chest X-ray done and the report says there's haziness in the left mid and lower zones. I'm a bit worried about what this means. Could it be something serious or should I be concerned about any specific conditions?

Accepted Answer

The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

Question 3

Hi doctor, my SGPT and SGOT levels are high, and Ive been told that I snore loudly and sometimes seem to stop breathing during sleep. What can I do to manage this and bring my levels under control?

Accepted Answer

High SGPT and SGOT levels, combined with loud snoring and breathing pauses, suggest potential liver issues and sleep apnea. It's important to address liver health through a balanced diet, hydration, and limiting alcohol, while seeking treatment for sleep apnea through lifestyle changes, weight management, and possibly using a CPAP machine. Please consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation and personalized plan.

Question 4

I took Ambrolite recently, and now Im feeling a bit of breathing discomfort. Im also taking Ursocol along with it. Could these medications be causing this issue, or is it something else I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

The breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite (ambroxol) along with Ursocol (ursodeoxycholic acid) may be due to the expectorant properties of Ambrolite, which can temporarily cause throat irritation or coughing

Question 5

Ive been diagnosed with mild bilateral gynecomastia after seeing a doctor recently. Is there any way to treat this naturally or do I need surgery? If surgery is necessary, how much does it cost and whats the recovery like?

Accepted Answer

Mild bilateral gynecomastia can be addressed through natural methods, such as weight loss, exercise, and hormonal balance, but results may vary; surgical options, like male breast reduction surgery, can be more effective, with costs ranging from ?50,000 to ?2 lakhs (approximately $650-$2,600 USD) per breast, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, and hospital fees.

Accepted Answer

Hi, it's important to use Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer only as prescribed by a doctor, as dosage and frequency depend on your grandma's specific condition. Typically, they can be given separately with a gap of at least 15-20 minutes, but please consult her doctor for personalized advice to ensure safe and effective use.
