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'm currently dealing with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and was given allopathy treatments for it. I'm wondering which would actually be better for me: homeopathy or allopathy? Could you help me figure out which approach might be more effective? I'm really concerned about making the best choice for my health.

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?

I just took Redotil for my diarrhea, but it didn't seem to work because I still had a stool about 15 minutes after. I'm a bit worried and unsure about what to do next. I have Roko and Imodium at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage. Can you please give me some advice on what to do?
