Hey, just wanted a second opinion about my abdominal tuberculosis treatment. My doctor stopped RHE FD and Pyzina and now has me on R Cinex 600 and Moximac. My uric acid level is 12.7. About 1.5 years ago, I had extra pulmonary TB, and despite finishing 9 months of AKT4, TB's been diagnosed again after a recent CT scan because I had upper abdomen pain. I dont have any TB symptoms or side effects from meds this time. Is the treatment plan right? How can I contact online for more details?

View allI'm really worried because I had a Covid test on June 1st, and I've been having this dry cough ever since. It's been a few days now without a fever, but the cough just won't go away. I tried taking Macbery XT cough syrup, but it hasnt helped at all. Also, sometimes I feel like there's some congestion when I breathe. What should I do about this?

I'm really worried because I've had this persistent cough for around 20 days now, and in the mornings, it's even harder because I cough up a bit of blood. Should I be concerned about a serious health issue, or could it just be something related to the changing seasons?

I've been having this chest tightness and shortness of breath for about four months now, and it's getting pretty bad. About six months ago, I noticed my sputum turning grey once a day too. My doctor did a sputum culture and said it's streptococci pneumonia, but my X-ray and ECG were normal. I was on Novamax 500mg three times a day, but I still feel tightness in my chest and have grey sputum. A CT scan showed fibrotic strands on my upper right lobe, which my doctor said was from a past infection. I'm not on any meds right now, but I'm still struggling with these symptoms. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what steps I should take next? It's really affecting my daily life.
Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management, as your symptoms persist despite treatment and normal heart tests; the CT scan findings suggest possible pulmonary fibrosis or scarring, which may be causing your chest tightness and shortness of breath; the pulmonologist can assess your condition, potentially ordering additional tests like pulmonary function tests (PFTs) or bronchoscopy, and develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms.
