I've been on tuberculosis medication for several months, and my doctor has me doing liver function tests and liver enzymes are normal. Is it alright if I have one beer a month?

Question

I'm three months into my TB treatment and I've got my AFB and GeneXpert reports here. Could you have a look at them and let me know if everything seems okay? Also, what's the usual outcome for an AFB Culture test after three months of treatment? I'd really appreciate your input!

Question

I'm really not feeling well and it's mostly in my chest area, so I went to get it checked out at an MRI center. They did a CT scan, and I'm looking for some feedback on it. Could you take a look and let me know what's going on?

Question

I'm really worried because someone I know has been a COVID patient since April 8th. We retested after 17 days, and its still positive. The CT scan shows a CORADS6 and a severity score of 6 out of 25, with findings like patchy areas of ground glass, septal thickening, and vascular issues suggesting viral pneumonia. I'm not sure what steps to take next or which medicines should be considered. Can you help?
