I'm a bit worried because my doctor just switched my TB medication from AKT 4 to RCinex 450300 and Mycobutol 1000 without doing any tests. I've only been on the meds since the beginning of March, and he mentioned that TB doesn't spread after 15 days of treatment, so it's okay to resume normal activities. Could you please let me know if this change is safe and if it's really true that TB isnt contagious after just 15 days on meds?

Yes ,TB will not spread at present since 15 days treatment is completed .Continue all the medications.

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm 24 and have been on anti-tuberculosis meds for a while, and tomorrow is my last day of them. Been super disciplined with my meds, and luckily my tests showed no AFB after two months and my chest X-ray was clear. I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benaadon 40, and I've been feeling alrightgood appetite, no nausea. But what's been bothering me for the past 45 days is this mild pain in my left chest, plus a dry cough that sometimes comes with phlegm. Is this something to worry about? Could it be related to COVID or is it just a normal thing that happens with TB? I'm really worried.

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
