Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Fatty liver is a condition in which there is fat deposition in the liver.
Obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and alcohol intake are some of the causes. It is not a serious condition. Treating the underlying cause would reverse it. Poorly distended gallbladder could be due to previous inflammation or the scan was not done in a fasting state. Dry cough for more than a month could be due to many reasons such as acid reflux, lung issues, asthma or medication related. A chest xray should be done.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards.
