I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

I've been dealing with this issue where I keep having this irritating feeling in my throat like there's mucus constantly forming there. I used to get this sensation maybe every 3 or 4 months, but for the past 6 months, it's been happening every single day and it's really affecting my life. On top of that, I've been experiencing what's probably gas reflux, and it's making things even worse. It's become quite miserable, and I'm finding it hard to eat. Do you have any idea what might be going on or how I could get some relief?
That could be GERD, visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate management

I'm dealing with this stomach pain that's been going on for about 3 months now. It's on the left side of my tummy, near my hip. The worst part is, my tummy starts rumbling at night, keeping me awake. What could be causing this, and do you have any advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort in your left lower abdomen, which could be due to various causes such as digestive issues, gas, or even something like an ovarian cyst. It's important to get it checked by a doctor to pinpoint the exact cause and receive the right treatment, especially since it's been ongoing for a few months.
