Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom's medication after she was discharged from the hospital. She's been prescribed Duolin 2.5 ml TDS and Flohale 2.5 ml BD for nebulization. I'm not sure if I should be mixing them together for her treatment, or if they need to be nebulized separately. Can you help clarify this for me?

Duolin and Flohale should be given separately when nebulizing. Duolin is usually taken three times a day (TDS), while Flohale is taken twice a day (BDS). Ensure theres a gap of at least 10 minutes between the two medications to avoid any interaction. Always follow your doctors advice for the best results.

Question

I'm really worried about TB treatment with AKT tabs. I've heard they're supposed to be taken for months, but is there a risk of lung damage like cavities forming during or after the treatment? Is that something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having fever and weakness for the past 15 days. They said she has TB pleural effluent and removed 950 ml of water from her lungs a week ago. The blood tests came back negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid though. The doctor has given her Pyrazinamide, Rcinex, and Combutol. Another general physician suggested adding Loxof500 for 10 days to help with the fever and weakness. But I'm not sure if that's a good idea because isn't that for non-drug-resistant cases, like if other meds aren't working? Do you think we should just stick with the current medicines for a bit longer? The fever seems to come and go every 6 to 8 hours after taking paracetamol.

Question

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about a week now, and it seems to get worse at night. I've tried using cough syrup, but it hasn't helped. What else can I do to get some relief?
