I'm 17 and I've had a fever ranging between 97.7 to 100 for a year now. My doctor said it's pleurisy from TB and I've been on TB meds like Akurit4 and Rcinex. The pleurisy fluid's gone and I've gained weight, but the fever hasn't stopped. Now my neck is swollen on the left side for the past 20 days. What could be going on?

I'm experiencing some chest heaviness and having trouble breathing. I already have asthma and usually use Rotacaps and Montair LC to manage it, but they don't seem to be helping right now. Could you suggest what I should do next?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.

Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.
