I'm on TB treatment and have been for 35 days without any issues, but all of a sudden, I started coughing up blood in the last couple of days. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's making me quite anxious. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?

Question

I'm really worried because my parents and I have been dealing with COVID for two weeks now, and we're still coughing a lot. We've been taking ascoril ls, doxt t, and montaire LC, but it doesn't seem to help much. I've heard about getting an HR Chest CT Scan, and I'm wondering if I can get a doctor to prescribe it. Is it something we should consider?

Question

I've been dealing with a really annoying cold, cough, and itchy throat for about a week now. I've tried home remedies and even saw a doctor, but nothing seems to be working. The cough is so much worse at night than in the morning, and my throat always starts itching right before I cough. I'm currently taking Asthakind DX syrup and Cefpodoxime and Levocetirizine tablets, but it's still not getting better. Can you suggest any other medicine or treatment that might help?

Question

I've been on montair fx for about 6 years to help with my asthma and rhinitis symptoms. Should I still be taking it or think about cutting back or stopping? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
