I've been having to go to the bathroom like 56 times a day with these semi-liquid stools. Is this something normal? I talked to a doctor and they mentioned something about tuberculosis. Could it really be that?

View allI've just found out that I've got hemorrhoids and I'm only 17, so it's my first time dealing with them. Something odd has happenedwhen the hemorrhoids appeared, I noticed a bunch of pimples showing up around my butt and thighs. I usually get one or two pimples on my butt every few months, but now it's more like 20! Do you think this could be connected to the hemorrhoids somehow? It's kinda freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I get really nauseous and start vomiting whenever I travel, especially on long journeys. It's incredibly uncomfortable and makes traveling difficult for me. Are there any remedies or tips to help with this issue?
To alleviate travel-induced vomiting, also known as motion sickness, try these remedies: 1) choose a seat in the front or middle of the vehicle, 2) keep your eyes on the horizon, 3) avoid reading or screens, 4) take motion sickness medication like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or meclizine (Bonine) 30 minutes before travel, 5) use acupressure bands or ginger-based products, 6) avoid heavy meals before travel, and 7) try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation;
