I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

View allI've been dealing with navel displacement for a while now. It's causing me a lot of gastric heaviness and my stomach always feels bloated. Is there any way to fix this for good? Plus, I'm having trouble with not completely evacuating. What should I do?
Navel displacement can lead to gastric issues and bloating. To help with this condition, you can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) for bloating and Gas Relief. For incomplete evacuation, you can try a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) to help with bowel movements. Additionally, incorporating fiber supplements like Metamucil can also aid in improving bowel regularity. Remember to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?
Kindly discuss for your concern.

I've been having a really rough time with a high fever, vomiting, loose stools, terrible stomach ache, and I'm finding it hard to breathe. It's been going on for three days now. Should I be worried or see someone about this?
You can take a tab. pantakind once or twice a day half an hour before food for 3 days. Tab. Sporolac-ds thrice a day after food for 5 days. Drink plenty of fluids. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
