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.

I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried here. Back in July 2020, I noticed it was hard to take a full deep breath all day long. It's been months now, like seven, and I've seen multiple doctors, but this hasn't gone away. It's kind of weird because my normal breathing is okay, and I don't have any other symptoms other than a lot of burping. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

GERD I can think this diagnosis according to your symptoms or maybe anxiety issue! take pantop for 5 days

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an ultrasound a couple of days ago, and it said her liver is bigger than normal at 159 mm with mildly increased echotexture. Theres no sign of dilated IHBR or any abscess. Most other organs like her gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and uterus seem normal, but she has been feeling nauseous consistently for the last 10 days and it's hard for her to eat. She has diabetes and high blood pressure for which she's on medication. What do you think could be causing these symptoms, and what should we do next?

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm feeling a bit unsure. The results show my total bilirubin is 0.7 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin is 0.3 mgdl. I noticed that my direct bilirubin is 0.1 mgdl higher than the indirect bilirubin. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything specific I should be doing or looking into?

No need to worry everythis is normal ,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle
