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 these mouth ulcers on my tongue for a while now. I've tried using Clogen lozenges and some weekly antifungal meds for the past three months, but they're just not going away. I've even seen a dentist, and they couldn't find anything wrong. They clear up, but then they're back after a few days. I've also been taking Vitamin B supplements. Plus, Ive been having some digestion issueslike I constantly need to go to the bathroom to clear my bowels. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I could try next?
I recommend trying a combination of medications to address the possible underlying causes. You can try using a mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine to reduce oral bacteria and promote healing. Additionally, taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole can help with your digestion issues and reduce stomach acid, which may be contributing to the mouth ulcers. For the mouth ulcers specifically, you can also use a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone acetonide dental paste to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.

I'm experiencing something concerning when I eat. After meals, I tend to get heartburn, feel nauseous, and have gas issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to take bifilac and sodium bicarbonate capsules for this?
When you experience heartburn, vomiting, and gas problems after eating, it may indicate acid reflux or indigestion. Bifilac capsules can help in regulating your gut flora and sodium bicarbonate can help in neutralizing stomach acid. You can take Bifilac capsules (containing probiotics) one capsule twice a day after meals and Sodium Bicarbonate capsules (containing sodium bicarbonate) one capsule after meals as needed. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms.

I'm having this really annoying issue where every time I go to the bathroom, my anus gets super itchy. It's so bad that I find it really hard not to scratch it. Why is it so itchy and what can I do to stop it?
The persistent itchy anus, especially after wiping, could be caused by anal fissures, hemorrhoids, skin tags, or conditions like pruritus ani, psoriasis, or eczema; other possible causes include poor hygiene, excessive wiping, or irritation from soaps, wipes, or toilet paper; to alleviate the itch, try applying cool compresses, using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, and avoiding scratching; consider consulting a gastroenterologist,
