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 noticing some bleeding during my bowel movements and had a colonoscopy done today. I'm really concerned about the findings, which is why I'm reaching out. Do you think there's a way to treat these piles without surgery, maybe something like an Ayurvedic or natural remedy? Your advice would be really helpful.

It is definitely possible to treat piles or haemorrhoids without the need of surgery the treatment of piles depend on stage
