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.

I'm really worried about my dad. Ever since he had an angioplasty about 20 days ago, he's been dealing with a lot of vomiting. It seems like he can't keep any solids down, except for fruits, ragi malt, and some dosas. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this?

I've been dealing with a hiatus hernia for the past 2 years and have been taking a lot of antacids, but now I'm noticing side effects like burning mouth syndrome, gum irritation, and low vitamin levels. Can Ayurveda help treat hiatus hernia and reduce the gum burning? Also, I'm in Bangalore any recommendations here? Should I consider surgery for this condition?

Ayurveda can help reduce acidity but structural hernias need surgical correction. Look for centers like SDM Ayurveda or Jindal Naturecure in Bangalore.
