I'm about five months into my TB treatment now. My cough has improved a lot, and I don't have the fever like before, plus I've gained 7 kg. I don't really have any other issues, but I still have this occasional cough during the day, like 20 to 30 times, just a small cough each time. My GeneXpert test was positive, and the EBUS FNAC showed caseating epithelioid granuloma cells when I had it done at Apollo Hospital. I'm a bit worried about when this cough is going to go away completely. Are there other possibilities I should be aware of? Do I need to extend my medication to 12 months?

good immunity is required to overcome cough, try eating nutritious food

I'm an asthmatic and usually use Foracort 200 rotacaps during my asthma attacks. But every time after I use it, I feel really weak, like I can't even hold a glass, and I get super sleepy for almost 12 hours. It's quite concerning and I can't figure out why this is happening. Can you help me understand?

I'm having trouble with heavy breathing, especially at night and in the morning. It gets worse when I run or do even small exercises. I feel really tired and like I'm not getting enough oxygen. When I cough, there's some pain in my chest, and I have a bit of nose congestion too. Does this sound serious? What could be causing it?

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole for 3 days
