I have confirmed tuberculous lymphadenitis after an FNAC test. I have started my TB medicine. I have noticed sudden changes in my stool color, which is completely yellow. Is this symptom normal? Please suggest.

Yellow colored stool can occur due to Rifampicin, a common TB medicine. It is usually harmless and expected early on. If you have nausea, vomiting, or jaundice, inform your doctor. Continue TB treatment unless symptoms worsen. Do LFT regularly while on TB meds

Why is the color of my eyes not recovering after jaundice even though I have completely recovered? How can I make them return to normal? I recovered from jaundice with proper treatment, and my blood report is completely normal. It has been two months since recovery, but my eyes still look yellow.
