Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The tuberculosis of the abdomen is a tricky thing to treat.
I advise all my patients to get admitted till the symptoms are abated.
The reason for the pain in abdomen is sue to intestinal obstruction and adhesions.
The cause of headache can be tuberculosis of the meninges.
Tuberculosis is a generalized disease of the whole body and showing symptoms at one place.
I would advise you the following:
Get your Mother admitted under the care of a Gastro Surgeon.
Enteroclysis - barium study / CT scan of abdomen and MRI of the brain to be donne.
Get all blood work- particularly Serum proteins and liver function tests done.
IF Enteroclysis is showing any intestinal obstruction she may need exploratory Laparoscopy or laparotomy to correct the intestinal problems.
I find this answer helpful
