Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on TB medication for 10 days now, but he's started having sharp pain in his back where his lungs are, especially when he breathes. The doctor mentioned before it might be swelling in the lungs, but now the pain's gotten much worse. Is this something new we should be concerned about, or is it related to the TB treatment? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

do one chest xray and proceed further

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with shortness of breath, chest pain, sinus infections, and fatigue for the last four months. I've seen three doctors, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've tried medications like doxycycline, azithromycin, montelukast, deflazacort, trystep D, gudacef antibiotics, bronchodilators, and fluticasone nasal spray, but the allergy is just getting worse. My IgE levels have jumped from 250 in June to 1100 in September, and one of my nostrils is always blocked due to the sinus issue. I'm constantly tired and at random times my chest hurts. My X-ray, blood test, and ferritin levels are all normal, but nobody has done a PFT because of COVID. Why is this happening and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

avoid allergens , drink warm water, steam inhale 5 times a day, stop junk , control eating habits and consult nearby pulmonologist

Question 3

I'm having trouble breathing properly; it feels like my breaths aren't satisfying, and I can't take a deep breath. I find myself yawning regularly, like once a minute, trying to compensate. It feels like there's something blocking my inhale. What could be causing this, and is there something I should do about it?
