Question

I'm really worried about my husbands health. His oxygen levels dropped below 90 a couple of days ago, and now it's been hovering between 93-95 for the past month. A month back, his RT-PCR test came out negative. Hes also pre-diabetic and has borderline cholesterol. Can you give me some advice on what we should do next?

I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.
