Question

I'm on medication for Tuberculosis and it's been 5 days now, but I'm feeling unbelievably weak, exhausted, and feverish. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Question

I've been on TB meds for three months, and my recent LFT and creatinine tests came back normal. My doctor adjusted my meds and I'm now taking RCin 600 and Solonex 300 for the next six months. I've got a get-together next week, and I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol just for that day since my liver functions are normal right now. Is it safe, or should I skip the alcohol?

Question

I've been noticing that I only take deep breaths when I think about it, but when I'm busy or asleep, I don't feel the need to. I saw my family doctor, and he told me to do exercise, but I'm constantly thinking about my breathing now and it's making me a bit worried. I've had an ECG and x-ray, and everything's clear. Could you give me some advice?

Question

I'm dealing with a bad cold and cough and I've heard nebulization might help. Could you let me know which medications are effective for quick relief from these symptoms?
