Question

I'm really worried because I just got my medical results back, and they said theres some white area on the chest X-ray, particularly on the lower side of my left chest. It caused my medical to be deemed unfit. What could this possibly mean, and what should I do next? Do I need further tests or treatments?

Question

I've been on TB medication for a month now and haven't noticed any side effects like vomiting or jaundice. Is it normal not to experience side effects with TB medications? Last year, when I had extrapulmonary lymph node TB, I experienced a lot of side effects and the treatment lasted over nine months. My pulmonologist confirmed it was cured, but now I've had upper abdomen pain for the last four months. An abdomen USG showed a mass lesion in the retro peritoneal region, and after a CT scan of my thorax and full abdomen, it showed collapsed lungs and abdominal adenopathy. I've started taking RHE FD tablets again, but I'm confused if it's really TB this time since I don't have any symptoms or side effects from the medication. Could it be something else? What do you suggest I do?

Question

My dad, who's 60, has been prescribed Azee 500 three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for his COPD, along with some other inhalers. I think Azee 500 is an antibiotic, but I'm worried if it's alright to take an antibiotic for as long as 3 months. Could you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm really worried about my son. He's been on TB treatment for 120 days now, but his cough hasn't got any better. How long should it usually take for the cough to improve while on the medication? Do you think he might need additional meds? He's taking akurit 3 right now.
