Question

I'm a bit confused about the medication my doctor prescribed. They've asked us to take INH 150, Rcinex 450, and Ethambutol 400. But here's the thing, Rcinex already contains 300mg of isoniazid. Should we be adjusting the dosage or is there something I'm missing here? It's just a bit worrying, and I want to make sure we're doing the right thing.

Question

I'm noticing that I've been coughing up black spots after meals lately. I used to smoke for about 5 years, but I quit 6 months ago. Should I be worried about this cough? Is it related to my past smoking or something else I should be aware of?

Question

I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?

Question

I'm really worried about my dadhe's 53 and caught COVID on March 30th. He had a fever for four days, and after talking to the doctor, we did an HRCT of his chest. It showed a mild infection with about 10-15% of lung involvement. The doc gave him some medicine called Ferocort and Syncrobreath, plus a cough syrup. But the thing is, he's still coughing a lot. I'm just wondering, how long do you think it'll take for the cough to get better?
