Question

I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?

Question

I've been through quite a journey with TB since 2016, dealing with extra pulmonary TB and after a year of treatment and some surgery for fluid drainage, I thought I was in the clear. In 2019, even though I had some lymph node swelling, the tests came back negative, and my doctor said I didn't need further medication. But now, with my fianc being diagnosed with pulmonary TB last December, I'm freaking out a bit. Given my history and the close contact, should I be concerned about getting TB again?

I've been having a lingering cough, mucus, and this annoying chest pressure ever since I recovered from COVID about two months ago. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a doctor, or is there some over-the-counter medication that might help?

Question

I'm dealing with tuberculosis and currently taking my TB meds three times a day. I've been wondering if it's okay to take Doxycycline alongside my AntiTB meds. Is it safe to mix these, or should I be concerned about any interactions?
