I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

Question

I've been prescribed ethambutol, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide for my tuberculosis treatment, and I'm wondering if having alcohol is completely off-limits during this time. Could it interfere with the medications or make my condition worse? I'm just looking for some guidance on what's safe.

Question

I'm really worried because this morning, while I was brushing my teeth, I coughed really hard and noticed blood in my spit. It looked like clotted blood, thick and red. And the more I coughed, the more blood came up, which wasnt happening yesterday. I had my last meal at midnight because of work. Could you help me figure out why Im seeing blood when I cough in the morning?

Question

I'm dealing with asthma, high blood pressure, and urticaria, and I'm a bit concerned about what's going on right now. I'm 39 years old, not married, and honestly, I've been struggling with my weight at 113kg with a height of 169 cm. For 7 years, I've been on Stamlo 5 mg and Cetzine, but recently I ran into some trouble with severe ulcer issues and took Esogress D for that. Just a few days back, I saw a pulmonologist because I was having a rough time with my asthmalots of chest congestion and coughing. They prescribed Formoflo 250 mg inhaler, Telekast LAB Flo SR 200mg, Ivepred 8mg, and Pantaacid DSR 40 mg. I even had to get nebulized for quick relief when I was in the hospital. But now, with these new asthma meds, I'm feeling weird. I'm sweating even with the AC on, my stomach feels uneasy and burns at times, and my hand is a bit shaky. Plus, there's this odd blood-gushing sensation in my left hand and leg, and I'm slightly giddy and finding it hard to concentrate. I did an ECG and echocardiogram two months back, and everything was okay, even did a TMT. Any idea what's going on with me?
