I'm 24 and have been on anti-tuberculosis meds for a while, and tomorrow is my last day of them. Been super disciplined with my meds, and luckily my tests showed no AFB after two months and my chest X-ray was clear. I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benaadon 40, and I've been feeling alrightgood appetite, no nausea. But what's been bothering me for the past 45 days is this mild pain in my left chest, plus a dry cough that sometimes comes with phlegm. Is this something to worry about? Could it be related to COVID or is it just a normal thing that happens with TB? I'm really worried.

Question

My mom used to take Theoasthalin SR, Romilast B10, and Foracort Forte 12400mcg for her asthma, and it worked really well for her. But now I can't find Theoasthalin SR anywhere. Do you know what a good substitute would be? It's kind of worrying since it was so effective for her.
