Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis and has been on ATT for over a month now. Initially, she was prescribed AKT 2 450300. But just last week, the doctor switched her to R Cinex 450300 capsules. Ever since the change, she's been vomiting in the mornings after taking it, and she's been experiencing itchiness in her legs and hands, along with leg pain. Do you think we should go back to AKT 2?

Question

I'm worried about this lung nodule they found in my recent scan. If it's related to a tuberculosis infection or cancer, how much would it typically grow in just one month? And what does it mean if the nodule's size stays the same or even gets smaller after a month?

Question

I'm having a hard time breathing sometimes and it's kind of worrying. I just got over Covid-19. Have noticed I feel better after burping. Could there be a connection between the shortness of breath and burping? What's happening with my body?

Question

I'm currently dealing with extra pulmonary tuberculosis and have developed left pleural effusion. I'm now in the fourth month of my continuous phase of ATT. These days, I'm taking Macox plus 600 and Ecox 1000mg tablets daily. I'm wondering, is it okay to continue with these medications for the rest of the ATT course? Would really appreciate your guidance on this!
