Question

I'm dealing with a really bad cough for over 40 days now. I've been using inhalers and the nebuliser, like Budesal and Foracort, and taking meds like Livotiz and some lifestyle tabs. I'm worried it's not getting better. What should I do next, and is there something else I could try?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She has this severe dry cough that gets worse whenever the weather changes, and we've been trying to manage it with monocortil 6 mg for a couple of months. Its been helpful, but Im concerned because it seems like her diabetes is getting worse. Could this be related to the medication? I'm not sure what to doshould we continue with the monocortil or try something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Question

I was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis last month and I've been taking my meds as prescribed, but now my uric acid levels are up to 12.7. So my doctor stopped most of the TB meds and left me with just rcinex 600 and moximacgerdid. I've read that without taking the full set of TB meds like AKT4, the treatment might not fully work. Is it really okay if I stop taking Pyzina but keep the treatment going? I'm really worried about any future problems. Should I stick with rcinex 600 or should I switch back to taking AKT4?

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been coughing for about 8 to 10 days now, and just today I noticed blood when I cough. This isn't the first time it's happened; about two years ago, I experienced something similar and went to a physician for a medical checkup, and with some treatment over a month, it got better. Should I be worried and seek medical help again right away, or is there something else I can try first? Could this be related to the previous issue I had back then?
