I'm dealing with chest congestion that's been around for quite a while now. I've got this annoying cough and it feels like something's just lodged in my throat. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

My mom's been on TB treatment since May 12, 2020, and I'm worried because she's not gaining weight. She's only at 31.80 kg right now, but she used to be around 39 to 40 kg before she got sick. It's been over a year since she started her treatment, so I'm wondering why her weight hasnt gone back up.

inadequate nutrition and side effects of medication like loss of appetite, monitor her progress

I'm a bit worried because my doctor just switched my TB medication from AKT 4 to RCinex 450300 and Mycobutol 1000 without doing any tests. I've only been on the meds since the beginning of March, and he mentioned that TB doesn't spread after 15 days of treatment, so it's okay to resume normal activities. Could you please let me know if this change is safe and if it's really true that TB isnt contagious after just 15 days on meds?

Yes ,TB will not spread at present since 15 days treatment is completed .Continue all the medications.
