Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?

I'm feeling really frustrated about my health. I'm 32, unmarried, and I've never had issues like this before. I've been taking Pulmoclear 700 mg, Montek LC, and Amrox LS for over a month now, and it's got me worried. Are these symptoms of sinus or pulmonary problems? Is the mucus clogging and blocking my breathing because it feels like I'm starving for oxygen, and I've had to go into intensive care. Being alone at home makes it even tougher. Could this be a seasonal illness that I'll have to deal with every year, or is there a solution to fix it?
it is seasonal, it wil be cured by medications.
