Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

View allI'm a bit worried because my HRCT shows I've got minimal pleural effusion on both sides. Most of my tests like CBC, thyroid, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, and CRP came back normal, but my ESR is 34. With this minimal pleural effusion, do you think I need pleural tapping? Plus, I'm dealing with some pain in my upper chest wall and upper back. Would love to get your thoughts on this.
pleural tapping is not required

I'm really worried about my husband. He's had a pleural effusion in his right lung, and weve gone through a bunch of tests for TB. But it's confusing because some results suggest TB, while others don't. The doctor went ahead and started him on ATT, but now hes dealing with a lot of severe weakness. I'm wondering if this weakness could be a side effect of the ATT. Can you give some insight?
give him food with high protenicous diet. his weakness will be reduced

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?
visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
