Question 1

I'm currently undergoing TB treatment, but I've been experiencing this constant bitter taste in my throat. Everything I eat just seems really bitter. Any idea how long this might last or what I can do about it?

Accepted Answer

side effects of tablets , stay hydrated

Question 2

I've been having some breathing issues whenever the seasons change, and it's been happening for the past few years. It usually comes and goes on its own, but this time, it's been going on for about 23 days. I'm also feeling a bit of heaviness in the upper center of my chest, which feels really strange when I breathe. I don't have a fever, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms. A few days ago, I started taking Grilinctus because it was recommended by a doctor for the same issue before, along with some other medicines that I can't remember now. I even got an Asthalin inhaler for emergencies, though I've never used an inhaler before, and I haven't tried this one yet either. While the breathing problem seems slightly better, the chest heaviness is making me anxious. Could this be asthma or possibly a heart problem? It's kind of stressing me out because it's hard to see a doctor right now with everything going on. Any advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I'm wondering about my situation with TB. I've been on the AKT 4 kit for 35 days now and have kept myself quarantined this whole time, always wearing a mask. Is it safe for me to stop wearing the mask and be around my family? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm not putting them at risk.

I'm currently working at a thermal power plant where I'm regularly exposed to a lot of dust. During the summer, I experience some mild breathing issues, but it gets worse in the winter when my nostrils and chest feel completely blocked. Do you have any suggestions for managing or preventing this?

That looks like you have lung disease due to exposure to harmful chemicals, visit Pulmonologist for evaluation and appropriate management
