I'm really worried about my friend who's been on TB meds for about 20 days now. Suddenly, he started having nonstop vomiting, can't eat or drink, and is super dehydrated. The doctor suggested stopping his TB pills for a week. They're giving him Taxim injections for the next 5 to 6 days along with some other injections. Do you think this break in TB treatment is something we should be concerned about?

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?

it is not related to that

I've been dealing with loose motions since this morning, and even after having coconut water and an electrolyte solution, I'm not feeling any better. What else can I try to get some relief? Should I be worried about this lasting longer?

-It sounds like your stomach is still unsettled despite the coconut water and electrolyte solution. If the loose motions persist or you don't feel better soon, it might be helpful to consult a doctor to rule out any infections or other underlying issues.

I've been having trouble with my stomach not getting clean in the mornings, and it's making me feel really uncomfortable all day. There's this constant feeling of nausea and my stomach just feels off with a lot of gas. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

For your symptoms, you can try taking Pantoprazole along with Domperidone. Additionally, you can take Simethicone for gas relief.
