I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

View allI've been experiencing really bad stomach pain lately so I went to see a gastroenterologist. They prescribed me LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 for a 5-day course. It's been 3 days now, and I'm still struggling with heavy gas and now a sharp pain in my back. Should I consult my doctor again right away, or is there something I can try at home to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.
Delayed menstruation can be concerning. Given your symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain and backache, it's possible that your period is imminent. Consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delay. If the test is negative, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. They may perform an ultrasound or other tests to determine the cause of the delay. In the meantime, track your symptoms and maintain a menstrual calendar to help your doctor diagnose the issue.

I'm 28 and I've been struggling with acidity for quite a while now. It's really becoming a constant issue. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Also, I've been noticing my body temperature stays around 98.5F and one time it went up to 98.7F. Is that something to worry about or is it normal? I measured it with a digital thermometer under my arm, just wondering if that's close to being a fever.
