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'm really worried about my ALTSGPT level, which is at 65 UL, and my creatinine is 0.64 mgdL, with chloride at 100 mEqL. Are there any complications I should be aware of with these levels? Should I be thinking about getting more tests done, or maybe making some changes to my diet? Any advice would be really appreciated.
don't worry it's not more than excess

I'm really worried because for the past 8 months I've had this burning feeling in my throat. It always feels tight, like something's stuck in there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned? What could be causing these sensations?
Water in the ear can be uncomfortable. Since ear wax drops aren't providing relief, try: - Ear drying drops (e.g., Otoferm) to help evaporate water - Tilt your head to the side and gently pull on the outer ear to help water drain - Use a warm compress or dry towel to help relieve pain and fullness If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ENT specialist to rule out: - Ear infection - Eardrum damage - Blockage Avoid using cotton swabs (Q-tips) to avoid pushing water further into the ear.

I'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?
The urge to poop after eating is usually caused by the gastrocolic reflex, a naturalHere are some lifestyle changes that may help with gastrocolic reflex: Eat smaller meals: Eat several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Avoid certain foods: Limit or avoid foods that make symptoms worse, such as deep-fried or spicy foods, or meals high in fat. Drink fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, to keep things moving. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic supplement or eat foods rich in probiotics, like kimchi, sauerkraut, or low-fat yogurt. Manage stress: Try yoga, breathing exercises, guided imagery, or meditation to reduce stress. Exercise: Increasing physical activity can help. Take stool softeners: If stools are hard, take stool softeners with meals. Try peppermint: Take peppermint oil before meals or sip peppermint tea after meals.
