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?

I'm dealing with diabetes and have been experiencing some itching around my anus for about two weeks now. I took 400 mg of albendazole last night, suspecting it might be pinworms causing this. How long should I expect it to take for the symptoms to improve if pinworms are the issue?

I'm feeling really uncomfortable after recovering from COVID. I've got this ongoing gastric issue, and I'm experiencing pain on the right side under my ribs. There's some kind of stomach disorder going on, and I also feel this lower abdomen pain in the mornings. Thankfully, it does ease up after a bowel movement, but it's concerning. What might be causing all this, and is there something specific I should be doing to feel better?
