I'm currently on medications for MDR TB and have been taking them for the past two months. For the last 15 days or so, I've been experiencing a lot of sweating during both the day and night. Is this something that's common with the treatment, or should I be worried about something else?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been on TB treatment for a month now, but her cough hasn't really gotten any better. Her appetite seems fine, and she's even gained a few kilos. There's no fever or sweating, which is good, but the bloody cough and irritation are alarming and she's feeling really fatigued. Her chest X-ray shows sputum negative. What could be going on, and what should we do next?

Question

I've just finished my tuberculosis treatment earlier this April after nine months on medication, but then I caught COVID at the end of the month. Since then, I haven't had any COVID symptoms, and an HRCT showed no lung infections. However, I'm struggling with a persistent dry cough and an itchy throat. There's also white mucus that shows up every morning but only a little bit. I've tried Alex syrup and some home remedies like ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this ongoing cough, and should I be worried?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad's asthma. He's been using Serollo 250 for the past 5 years because his asthma specialist recommended it. However, lately, every time we get a new one, it seems defective and isn't helping much. His asthma symptoms are actually getting worse, and Im really concerned. Is there an alternative to Serollo 250 that we might be able to find at local stores? I've attached a pic of the product if that helps.
