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'm having these weird symptoms after eating anything, like I keep burping and it feels like something's stuck in my throat, although it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. Could this be related to COVID or something else?

I've been dealing with something odd for the last couple of weeks. After eating, especially when I've had a big meal, my temperature goes up to around 99F and my pulse shoots up to 100bps, making me feel really uncomfortable. Sometimes, I also get these random pains in my abdomen, mostly on the right side, both upper and lower. The fever and pulse eventually settle down to normal after a few hours, but medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen dont seem to help at all. Any idea what's going on with me?
Based on your symptoms of elevated temperature, increased pulse rate, and abdominal pain after meals, it is possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or an underlying gastrointestinal issue. I recommend you to try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take an antispasmodic medication like Dicyclomine 10-20mg three times a day before meals to help with the abdominal pain. It is important to also avoid heavy meals, spicy foods, and caffeine which can exacerbate gastritis symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?
stop eating junk , drink warm water
