I'm dealing with bronchial asthma and have been using Foracort 400 daily. I'm worried though, are there any potential problems or side effects from using it every day? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Foracort 400 is generally safe for managing bronchial asthma if used as prescribed by your doctor. Long-term use may cause side effects like oral thrush, hoarseness, or mild systemic effects, so regular check-ups are essential. Always rinse your mouth after use to minimize side effects.

View allI'm really concerned about this - can pulmonary TB come back after you've been treated successfully and your sputum test from a bronchoscopy is negative? Also, is it normal to sometimes feel a bit of pain in the lungs while breathing if you recovered from TB and finished the treatment just last year?
Yes ,it can re-occur. Symtoms are normal.

I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?

I've just finished six months of TB meds in May, but I'm really worried because I'm having trouble breathing on the right side of my lung, where I had some moderate pleural effusion. It's a struggle to breathe normally, and when I take a deep breath, my right lung hurts a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and suggest any medication that could help?
do chest x ray and proceed
