Abdominal tuberculosis
I have been on treatment of abdominal tunerculosis since 4.5months. i had illeoceacal junction thickening of 2.8cm and multiple lymphnodes, among which largest was of size 4 by 2.4cm. i was given rcinex, pyzina, combutal for first 3 months then from last 1.5months i m having rcinex+combutol+levofloxacin. my latest ultrasound report tells i have now junction thickening of 1cm(2.8cm i tial) and largest lymphnode is now (1.9*1.1cm
) which was 4*2.4cm. . now i have two questions
1.is my thickening has got reduced in good amount as per 4.5months treatment? or it shud have been reduced to zero by now?
2.i still get pain in abdomain once in a week or 10days? even aftrr 4.5months is pain normal?
smtimes i feel like swelling in intestine and den it becomes normal,is it normal such behaviour? how much time shud i expect to vanish this pain completely?

You should get CT scan abdomen if you get bloating and pain in abdomen. Thickening may not become normal. It's because scarring of tuberculosis. If recurrent symptoms you may require operation now or later. I suggest to consult with CT report biopsy colonoscopy and TB treatment.

Firstly the ULTRASOUND is a very less sensitive investigation to measure thickness of bowel wall.
Also there is no such criteria.
It may take longer also.
Just continue the Treatment as such.
Any comparison Should be done after completing the course.
Next Steps
follow plant based diet for better results.
