I'm dealing with loose motions right now and wondering if it's okay to take an ELDOPER tablet on an empty stomach. Could you advise on whether that's a good idea or not?

View allI'm really worried because my histopathological report for a tuberculosis ultrasound-guided biopsy came back negative, but my CT scan shows I have enlarged lymph nodes and tuberculosis. I've been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for over three months, but I'm not seeing any improvement. My abdominal pain is getting worse, especially in the upper abdomen. Could it be something else? The biopsy was negative for cancer, and Buscopan injections don't relieve the pain at all. Only Tramadol helps. What could be causing such severe pain, and are there any tests that could help figure this out? Someone mentioned a capsule endoscopy - could that be useful?

I've just been told I have grade 2 fatty liver NASH, and I'm trying to wrap my head around what kind of diet I should follow. Since I eat a lot of rice, I'm really curious about which type would be best for me. Could you help me figure this out?
For grade 2 fatty liver NASH, it is important to follow a healthy diet to manage the condition. You should focus on consuming a diet that is low in saturated fats, refined sugars, and processed foods. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. In terms of rice, it is recommended to choose whole grains such as brown rice or wild rice over white rice. Brown rice is a good option as it is high in fiber and nutrients, which can be beneficial for your liver health. You can include brown rice in your diet in moderation and pair it with lean proteins and plenty of vegetables for a well-balanced meal. Additionally, it is important to monitor your portion sizes and avoid overeating, even if it is a healthier option like brown rice. Regular exercise and staying hydrated are also important factors in managing fatty liver NASH.

Moving to a new country can be challenging, especially when managing a medical condition like ADHD. In India, you'll find several medications available for ADHD treatment. *Commonly prescribed medications* include: - __Methylphenidate__ (MPH): Available in immediate-release (IR), extended-release (ER), and long-acting (LA) formulations. - __Atomoxetine__ (ATX): A non-stimulant medication. - __Lisdexamfetamine__ (LDX): A stimulant medication, although its availability might be limited in India. - __Clonidine__: Sometimes prescribed off-label for ADHD treatment. To find a doctor in Kanchipuram, you can: 1. *Ask for referrals*: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who live in Kanchipuram for recommendations. 2. *Online directories*: Utilize online directories like Practo or Lybrate to find psychiatrists or neurologists in Kanchipuram. 3. *Contact your embassy*: Reach out to the U.S. Embassy in India for guidance on finding medical care in Kanchipuram. Regarding the cost of medication and appointments, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific doctor or hospital you'll be visiting.
