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 a headache on the right side, plus I've got this awful acidity and gas. To make matters worse, I threw up last night. I tried some ajwain churans, and I've been taking Ocid and medigas, but my headache just isn't easing up much. I do yoga every morning, which helps a little, but the headache is still there. Can you suggest anything I can do to feel better?

I've had a moderate hiatus hernia for a few years and take a tablet every morning for acidity. I've been on these meds for three years now and worry about long-term side effects. Is there a good alternative to Sompraz L that's safer for daily use? I don't want surgery since multiple endoscopies and doctors say it's not needed yet, but I'm concerned about how these meds might affect my health over time. Any suggestions for a safer long-term option?

For long-term management of hiatal hernia-related acidity, a safer alternative to Sompraz L could be a combination of lifestyle changes, H2 receptor blockers, or even trying shorter courses of PPIs with breaks to monitor symptom recurrence. It's crucial to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation
