View allMy friend was diagnosed with TB in his throat, not in his lungs and he's just got one more month left to finish his six-month treatment. What should he keep in mind after he's done with the medication cycle? Do we need to do any tests to make sure he's completely cleared of TB? He's moved to a new place and can't get in touch with his regular doctor.

I've been dealing with flu bronchitis for the last month and a half, and ever since I've been on medication. But now I'm experiencing this chest pain on the right side, and it's gradually spreading to my arms and back. My blood test shows my ESR is 68. What should I do about this?
start tablet amoxyclav for 5 days, twice a day and tablet zerodol twice a day

I've been having this really sharp pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, for about a month now. It used to just happen when I moved a certain way or turned over in bed, but recently it's been happening more randomly, sometimes on the right side or in the middle too. Breathing in can be painful sometimes as well. I've got allergic rhinitis and asthma, and my allergies have been acting up lately. I'm finding myself out of breath pretty often when doing even small things, and it's hard to breathe at night since my nose gets blocked and I can hear wheezing from my chest. Could this chest pain be linked to my asthma? I'm starting to worry, and would really appreciate some advice!
yes the chest pain might he due to asthma
