I'm really worried because a year ago my tuberculosis test came back positive and since then I've been dealing with some menstrual problems. I went for ayurvedic treatment and thankfully my report turned negative, but now my test is positive again. My recent USG report mentioned 'koch's abdomen'. Plus, my periods haven't improved, and I'm experiencing pain on my left side and a lymph node in my armpit. I'm not sure what to do. Can you help?

View allI'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.
Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.

I've been having a hard time breathing, like it feels like it takes me forever to catch a proper breath. It's also really slow and difficult for me to eat my meals because of this. Do you have any idea what could be going on?
That could be due to Gastritis or GERD or DNS, this needs evaluation, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm curious if there's a blood test that can help understand how severe my ILD is and whether the disease is stable or getting worse since I can't have an HRCT all the time. Also, if I'm taking the right medications after being diagnosed with ILD, how many years could I potentially expect to live?
ILD is a curable disease, need not worry
