Can I take Dolo 650 while I'm on TB treatment if I have a fever? Also, when can I expect this fever to go away? I've been on medication for 29 days now.

It's generally safe to take Dolo 650 for fever during tuberculosis treatment, but it's important to follow your doctor's advice for specific medications and dosage. The duration of fever can vary depending on the severity of the infection and how your body responds to treatment. If the fever persists, it's a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I've been having some health issues lately that I'm getting pretty worried about. Last September, I had ear pain, a throat infection, and a cold. After visiting a doctor, I went through a round of antibiotics - Taxim O, Cheston Cold, Chymoral Forte, and Ciprofloxacin drops. Everything seemed to clear up, but then about a month later, I got a really bad throat infection again. The doctor then prescribed Yofix Az 250 mg Cefixime, Azithromycin, Chymoral Forte three times a day for a week, along with Syrup Gryllinctus for a wet cough and Betadine gargling. The throat thing cleared up after about 15 days, but now I'm dealing with something concerning. I cough up black phlegm, mostly in the mornings, and sometimes theres a tiny hair in it, plus Im having this slight feeling of breathlessness. Drinking hot water with honey and turmeric or apple cider vinegar seems to help a bit, but I'm still really anxious about it. With the whole lockdown and corona situation, I havent been able to make it to a doctor in person. What should I do?

Patient is advised tab allegra 120 mg,orally,bedtime for 14 days.

I'm really concerned about my asthma. I've had it for 30 years, but in the last two years, I've been experiencing this wheezing issue repeatedly. Every time I use the nebuliser or steroids, I feel better, but once I stop taking the steroids, the problem just comes back again. What should I do about this?

stay away from the allergic agents
