I'm currently on treatment for tuberculosis, and I've been running a fever between 99.5 and 100.3 during the day, but at night it's spiking up to 102-103. It's been almost 27 days since I started the treatment. I'm just wondering if this level of fever is normal and when I might see some improvement. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

start taking dolo650mg at night if you are facing this issue. If it is still not reducing take injection paracetamol IM for 3 days.

I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should watch out for after having a CT pulmonary angiogram a month ago? Also, can a pulmonary embolism develop sometime after the procedure? I've been having chest pain around the area under both my armpits, and it's got me a bit worried. Could this be related?

I'm a bit worried about my breathing issues. The doctor prescribed me Predmet 4mg tablets for 15 days, and it really helped control it. But now that I've finished the course, the breathing problem has come back. How long can I safely continue taking this medicine if it helps with my breathing? Could you please advise?

Patient is advised predmet 4 mg for 14 days, then predmet 2 mg for 14 days, and lastly tab predmet 1mg for 14 days and then stoped.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with a sort of suffocation and this weird tingling in my hands and feet for about a month. I did a pulmonary function test, and it came out normal. I'm wondering if it would be okay to use an inhaler to help with these symptoms?
