Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis and has been on ATT for over a month now. Initially, she was prescribed AKT 2 450300. But just last week, the doctor switched her to R Cinex 450300 capsules. Ever since the change, she's been vomiting in the mornings after taking it, and she's been experiencing itchiness in her legs and hands, along with leg pain. Do you think we should go back to AKT 2?

Question

Hey, my dad tested positive back in February. He was in the hospital for about 5 days and got 6 vials of remdesivir. It's been a month since then, and we just got his HRCT scan done. The results show a CT score of 725. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean he's still dealing with pneumonia?

Question

I've just got the results from my recent chest CT scan, and it's mentioned that there are fibrotic scars in the left upper lobe of my lung with post-inflammatory sequel changes. I'm a bit worried and curious if this is something serious or could it be considered normal?
