One year ago, my tuberculosis (TB) report was positive, and I also had problems with my periods. I continued Ayurvedic treatment, and my report later became negative. But now, my report is positive again, and my ultrasound shows Kochs abdomen. My periods have not improved, and I have pain on my left side along with a lymph node in my armpit. Please advise.

Kochs abdomen suggests abdominal tuberculosis which may recur or persist if not fully treated. If lymph nodes are enlarged and symptoms are present, consult a chest physician or infectious disease specialist. Menstrual issues may need gynecology review.

Today I went for a blood test for thyroid. When they pricked my needle, I saw watery blood on my hand. This happened for the first time. I am not on any blood thinner medicine. What could be the reason?

I get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?
