Question 1

I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?

Question 2

I'm worried because our servant was diagnosed with TB, and I'm concerned it might have spread to my family. Could you please tell me which test we can do to check if any of us are affected by TB?

Accepted Answer

If a family member has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), it's important to monitor for symptoms like persistent cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To confirm if anyone is affected, a chest X-ray and a TB skin test (TST) or a blood test (IGRA) are commonly used. Please consult a doctor for appropriate testing and advice.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for almost three months now. Whenever I take Deriphyllin 150mg and Cetrizine, it seems to help for about 20 hours, but then the cough comes back at night. What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your cough may be persistent, possibly due to an underlying issue like allergies or respiratory inflammation. I recommend consulting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly adjusting your treatment plan, as the relief youre experiencing may be temporary.

I just got my spirometry results back and I'm a bit confused. It shows that my FEV1 is 33 and my FVC is 41, but then it says my FEV1FVC is 70. I'm trying to understand what it means to have low FEV1 and FVC but a high FEV1FVC ratio. Is this something I should be worried about?
