I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

View allI'm feeling quite tired all the time and I don't smoke or drink. My ultrasound report shows that my liver is enlarged to 16.5 cm. Do you think I should be taking any medication for this? I'm really curious about what might be going on and how I can manage it better.
Enlargement of the liver can be caused by various conditions, and feeling tired could be a symptom of liver dysfunction. I recommend taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce fatigue. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support liver health. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this burning sensation in my stomach along with constant burping, and it's making me really uncomfortable. It also feels like there's this gurgling in my chest and throat. When I drink water, I notice a sort of gurgle as it reaches my stomach, almost like there's bubbling happening inside. Could this be something serious, or maybe just indigestion?

I'm dealing with some gas that's been trapped in my chest and upper back on the left side for the past two days, and it's making my chest feel really heavy. I've been taking pantoprazole 40mg to help with the gas since then, but it's just not clearing up this heaviness in my chest. Is there any medicine you can recommend that I can take right now? I already took pantoprazole at 8:30 am and had breakfast around 9:30 am. Would really appreciate some advice on what I can do next.
