My mother was treated for intestinal tuberculosis with AKT-FD tablet for 18 months and was declared fully recovered. She now has persistent pain in the right side of her abdomen. Other doctors have found no issues and only suggest gastric medicines. Could this still be a gastric problem, or something else?

Have a query?
