Question

I'm really worried and looking for some advice. It's been 15 days since I started TB medication, but I still have fever, chills, and this persistent dry cough. The meds are supposed to be helping, so I'm confused why these symptoms aren't getting better. Could you please advise on what might be going on or what I should do?

Question

I've been dealing with some asthma issues for the past couple of days and it's really hard for me to breathe. Can you tell me what I should do?

Question

I've been feeling really congested in my chest and no matter how much I sleep, I just wake up feeling tired all day like I can't get enough rest. I tried taking Asthalin before sleeping last night and it seemed to help a bit with the fatigue. I'm also dealing with a lot of acidity all day long, and sometimes it even makes me vomit and I end up coughing up a lot of phlegm. Do you think these things are related, and what can I do about it?
