View allI'm hearing this weird noise when I breathe in and out, and it seems to be coming from my lower lungs under the ribcage. A couple of days ago, it was more at the back, but now it's shifted to right under the ribcage in front. Should I be concerned about this, or is it common?

Why is my fever and cough getting worse after taking Akt4 for 13 days? My weight is 77 kg, and my CECT report shows multiple small necrotic mediastinal and left hilar nodes due to Koch's. The FNAC report says MTB DNA is detected, and the Gene Xpert report couldn't determine Rifampicin susceptibility because there was very low MTB DNA. Is this normal? I'm really worried. When will the fever go away?

I'm really worried about my mom's lymph nodes TB treatment. I went to two different private hospitals and got two kinds of prescriptions. One doctor told me to give her Akurit 4, two tablets a day, and the other suggested AKT 4. Her weight is 63 kg, and I've read that TB medicine doses depend on weight. When I looked into it, it seems like AKT 4 suits her weight better than Akurit 4, which seems too low. Now I'm confused about which one would be more effective. Should I consider going to a government hospital for DOTS treatment instead? Is DOTS better, or should we stick with private care? Any advice would be much appreciated.
