I'm currently dealing with active tuberculosis and I'm on a treatment plan taking Combutol 800 in the morning and an Ambystryn injection in the evening. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the correct treatment for my condition. Could you share your thoughts or advice on this?

-It sounds like you're on the right treatment for active TB, as Combipack (Combutol) and Ambystryn (Amikacin) are commonly used. However, it's crucial to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-ups to ensure the treatment is effective. Stay

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He was positive for covid19 on December 3rd but thankfully tested negative by the 20th. Even though he's active and not complaining much, we decided to do a HRCT chest scan to be cautious. The results showed subpleural ground glass opacities in his bilateral lower lung lobes with a CT Severity Score of 0625 and Corads 4. He's been taking B complex, Vitamin C, and Vit D 60k for the next 20 days. Should we consider any other medications for him? Just trying to ensure we're not overlooking anything important.
the above medicines are sufficient just to boost his immunity

I recently got an HRCT scan done for a surgery, and the report mentioned a small fibrotic patch in the middle lobe close to the oblique fissure. The rest of the HRCT of my chest is basically normal with no signs of viral pneumonia. But I'm pretty worried about this fibrotic patch. I dont have any bad habits or anything like that. Should I be concerned about this?
